In a report by NFL insider Ian Rapoport with Adam Schefter, the Colts have engaged in trade talks with multiple teams for the former No. 6 overall pick. One such team was the Baltimore Ravens, who recently traded for Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett instead. The Vikings, whom Jones was a member of in 2024, have also been linked amid the injury to Kyler Murray.
As Albert Breer explained in a post on X, formerly Twitter, Jones’ contract is quite an easy one to move given its structure.

“Daniel Jones‘ contract is tradeable—he’s on a base salary of $5.49 million, with $510K in per-game roster bonuses ($30K/game). Trading him for the Colts would mean his $44 million signing bonus would be a sunk cost. No fully guaranteed money after this year. Easy to move,” Breer wrote.

After going an impressive 8-5 as a starter last season, Jones has had a disappointing sophomore campaign in Indy. He has completed just 60.4% of his passes (a career-low) for 1,542 yards, with only five touchdowns and nine interceptions, one more than his total in 13 games last year. The Colts have gone only 2-6 in his eight starts.

However, it doesn’t look like this has deterred teams from trying to trade for Jones. Perhaps they think a change of scenery is all he needs in order to rediscover his form of 2025.
