NFL analyst warns Colts that extending Daniel Jones might be disastrous
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones stands on the field | Matt Pendleton-Imagn ImagesIs Daniel Jones worthy of an extension with the Indianapolis Colts? Sure. The issue is the price. Had Danny Dimes stayed healthy for all of this season, or not had two previous seasons end early because of injury, he'd be gold, but he has had that happen.
Franchise tagging Jones is another option for Indy to make sure the quarterback doesn't get away in free agency. The problem with that is it means paying the QB $47.4 million in 2026, and he might not be ready to play in Week 1. It's a lot of money to give up for someone who might only play half the season.
