BREAKING: Daniel Jones Could Leave Colts If Extension Talks Don't Begin Soon
Daniel Jones, who joined the Indianapolis Colts on a one-year free-agent deal, has impressed since taking over as the starting quarterback, securing the position ahead of rookie Anthony Richardson. His strong performance has been pivotal in the Colts' stellar 6-1 start to the 2025 season, with Jones setting career highs in several passing categories.
Despite his success, Jones has yet to engage in any extension talks with the Colts, raising questions about his long-term future with the team. According to Dianna Russini of The Athletic, there have been no discussions about extending Jones’ contract thus far, and with his continued strong play, his market value is only increasing. If the Colts fail to move on an extension soon, Jones could find himself a highly sought-after free agent in 2026.
The former Giants first-round pick, who ended last season with the Minnesota Vikings before moving on to Indianapolis, has revitalized his career in Indy. The Colts signed him to a $14 million deal, with nearly all of it guaranteed, signaling their confidence in him to lead the offense for the 2025 season. However, with no talks about an extension and Jones performing at a high level, the pressure is mounting for Indianapolis to make a decision on his future.
If Jones continues his current form, he could quickly become one of the most valuable quarterbacks on the market next spring. Despite the past challenges with his previous contract in New York—where he was released shortly after a large four-year, $160 million deal—Jones' age (28) and impressive play could make him a strong candidate for a multi-year deal in Indianapolis if the team is convinced of his long-term potential.
On the flip side, the Colts have been struggling to find a true successor to Andrew Luck since his sudden retirement. After cycling through eight different starting quarterbacks in the last nine seasons, finding stability at the position is crucial for the team’s future. Jones, if he can maintain his current level of play, could be the solution the Colts have been searching for.
However, if Indianapolis remains hesitant to offer him a long-term deal, Jones could test the free-agent market in March, leaving the Colts to once again face uncertainty at quarterback. His future in Indianapolis hinges on the Colts' willingness to begin contract talks, with the risk of losing him looming large if they fail to act soon.
Eagles Rookie Benched for Disciplinary Violation — Hasn’t Played a Single Snap After Nick Sirianni’s Punishment
Philadelphia, PA – October 25, 2025
The Philadelphia Eagles’ promising undrafted rookie offensive lineman has yet to take the field this season — and now head coach
For weeks, speculation grew across Eagles Nation about the mysterious benching. Fans wondered if it was due to conditioning, roster depth, or lack of experience. But Sirianni has set the record straight.
“He’s got the tools, no doubt,” the Eagles coach said. “But here in Philadelphia, talent isn’t enough. You earn your wings by discipline, not reputation.”
The player in question is
Hollin Pierce, the former Rutgers standout who stunned scouts with his incredible journey — shedding over 100 pounds and transforming himself from a longshot into a legitimate NFL prospect.
At Rutgers, Pierce started 50 consecutive games, becoming a cornerstone of the offensive line. He earned All-Big Ten honors twice and was named the school’s first All-American offensive lineman since 2009.
Despite going undrafted in 2025, the Eagles quickly signed him, impressed by his versatility and work ethic. During camp, he flashed power and patience but reportedly struggled with mental assignments during practice.
According to multiple team insiders, Pierce was repeatedly corrected for skipping reads, missing blocks, and ignoring route adjustments, drawing frustration from position coaches early in the season.
That lack of focus led to a clear message from Sirianni — accountability before opportunity.
“He’s not sitting because we’ve given up on him,” he clarified. “He’s sitting because he needs to learn what it means to play like an Eagle.”
For now, Pierce remains on the
Sirianni’s tone carried both firmness and hope.
“He’s a talented young man with a bright future,” he said. “But in this city, you don’t just play for yourself — you play for the standard.”
