Colts Place Transition Tag on Jones

The Indianapolis Colts have placed the transition tag on quarterback Daniel Jones following his breakout 2025 season, giving him the opportunity to negotiate with other teams while maintaining the team's right to match any offers.

Jones, who had a career revival after joining the Colts this past year, was on track for his best professional season before a season-ending injury. In 13 games, he passed for 3,101 yards with 19 touchdowns while achieving a career-best 68% completion percentage. He also contributed 164 rushing yards and five touchdowns on the ground.

The transition tag, valued at $37.833M, provides the Colts with flexibility to match any offer sheet Jones might receive from other teams. This move comes as Jones seeks to leverage his improved performance following six seasons with the New York Giants before joining Indianapolis.
