The Indianapolis Colts appear to be content holding on to quarterback Daniel Jones amid their disappointing season.
According to The Ringer's Tom Pelissero, Indianapolis informed Jones on Saturday that it wouldn't be trading the QB ahead of Tuesday's NFL trade deadline.
Pelissero added that the Colts had been listening to trade offers for Jones, but never had any intention of moving the 29-year-old.
Jones and the Colts fell to 2-7 with a loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. The eight-year NFL veteran passed for 180 yards, one touchdown and one interception in the game.
He entered the afternoon with 1,542 passing yards, five touchdowns and nine interceptions through the first eight games of Indianapolis's season.
Jones was a revelation under centre for the Colts in 2025, leading the team to an 8-5 record with 3,101 passing yards and 19 touchdowns before going down with a torn Achilles.
He is due $38 million in 2027 — around $10.5 million of which is guaranteed.
The Colts figure to be one of the more active teams at Tuesday's deadline, so much so that star running back Jonathan Taylor issued a goodbye of sorts to fans in Indy on Sunday, just in case.
Indianapolis fired general manager Chris Ballard in mid-October, which has left AGM Ed Dodds in charge of personnel on an interim basis.
