Show Notes
The Indianapolis Colts have used the transition tag on quarterback Daniel Jones, securing him $37.8 million for the season while allowing him to negotiate with other teams. Jones, who joined from the New York Giants, was seeking a $50 million annual deal, but the Colts initial offer was closer to what Sam Darnold received last year. Talks stalled due to a significant gap between the two parties, with Joness team pushing back before the deadline. The tag provides both sides time to discuss a long-term agreement. Fans and analysts view this as the Colts buying time to assess Joness performance after last seasons eight-and-nine finish, as he continues to recover from an Achilles tear. If Jones performs well in 2023, the Colts could apply the transition tag again in 2027 for around $45 million, maintaining leverage before he demands top-tier compensation.
