Colts are listening to trade offers for Daniel Jones as a losing streak, a benching and a costly future guarantee raise questions about his place in Indianapolis. Multiple teams have reportedly called, but the Colts are seeking fair value and could keep Jones if no offer meets their expectations.

By the Numbers
  • Indianapolis has lost 4 straight and is 2-6.
  • Through 8 games, Jones has completed 60.4% of his passes for 1,542 yards, with 5 touchdowns and 9 interceptions.
  • Jones signed a 2-year, $88 million contract with a $44 million signing bonus.
  • A $10.51 million injury guarantee for 2027 becomes fully guaranteed March 15 if Jones remains on the roster.
Yes, But

Jones showed promise before a torn Achilles ended his first Indianapolis season after 13 games. Coach Shane Steichen says Jones gives the team its best chance to win now, and the Colts reportedly won’t move him unless the return is fair.

State of Play
  • Indianapolis is reportedly taking calls on Jones ahead of Tuesday’s 4 p.m. ET trade deadline.
  • The Ravens reportedly checked in before acquiring Jacoby Brissett; the Vikings have also been floated as a possible destination.
  • Jones was benched late in a 42-7 loss to Jacksonville but is still slated to start against Dallas.
What’s Next

The Colts can continue weighing offers through the deadline. If Jones stays, his performance and the 2027 guarantee could shape whether Indianapolis keeps him on the field—or turns to a benching.

Bottom Line

Jones’ future in Indianapolis is uncertain: the Colts have reason to listen, but a trade depends on finding a return they consider worthwhile.
