Colts Place Transition Tag on Jones

The Indianapolis Colts are placing the transition tag on quarterback Daniel Jones after his breakout 2025 season with the team.

Daniel Jones had a career revival with the Colts this past season, starting 13 games and passing for 3,101 yards with 19 touchdowns before a season-ending injury. The transition tag, valued at $37.833M, is over $6M cheaper than the quarterback franchise tag, but allows Jones to sign offer sheets with other teams, giving the Colts the right to match any deal.
