Colts quarterback Daniel Jones doesn’t have a contract for the 2026 season, but it’s clear that he’s the guy that the Colts are planning to have running their offense.
General Manager Chris Ballard left no doubt about that during a Thursday press conference. Ballard called Jones “a really good fit for the organization” and said that he thought the organization brought out the best in Jones prior to his torn Achilles.
Ballard conceded that Jones’ recovery from that injury is an obstacle, but expressed confidence that “we’ll work through that” to get a deal done with a player that he sees as an answer to the team’s needs in the “near and long” term.
“I think Daniel Jones has a really bright future here in Indianapolis,” Ballard said.
Jones has also expressed a desire to remain with the Colts, so it looks like it will be a matter of finding the right years and numbers for a contract that will give the Colts a chance to recapture what was going right for the season until they reached the midway point of the season.
