Overview
- Reports differ on protections, with NFL Network citing over $60 million in guarantees and ESPN relaying agents’ terms of $50 million guaranteed at signing and $60 million for injury.
- The contract includes incentives that can lift its value to $100 million and is described by multiple outlets as the largest two-year deal in NFL history.
- First-year cash is about $50 million, topping the $37.833 million transition tag the Colts initially used to retain matching rights.
- The agreement removes the transition tag and keeps Jones under contract through 2027 after a 2025 surge that featured 3,101 passing yards and 19 touchdowns in 13 games.
- Indianapolis also re-signed wide receiver Alec Pierce to a multi-year deal this week, preserving its primary passing tandem as the team manages the cap impact of Jones’ new contract.
