The Colts agreed to terms with free agent quarterback Daniel Jones.
The 27-year-old Jones completed 64.1 percent of his passes for 14,582 yards with 70 touchdowns, 47 interceptions and a passer rating of 84.3 over six seasons (2019-2024) with the New York Giants. Jones also gained 2,179 yards on 399 rushing attempts (5.5 yards/attempt) with 15 rushing scores while with the Giants.
A 2019 first-round pick (No. 6 overall) from Duke, Jones also started two playoff games while with the Giants. He threw for 301 yards with two touchdowns and a 114.1 passer rating in New York's Wild Card win over the Minnesota Vikings in 2022 before the Giants lost to the eventual NFC champion Philadelphia Eagles in the divisional round a week later.
The Giants released Jones in November of 2024, and he signed to the Vikings' practice squad a few days later. Minnesota then signed Jones to their active roster for the 2024 playoffs, though he did not see game action.
Jones will join a Colts quarterback room that returns 2023 first-round pick Anthony Richardson. General manager Chris Ballard said at the NFL Combine last month the Colts would have an "open competition" to determine their starting quarterback in 2025.
