Colts reportedly in trade discussions for quarterback Daniel Jones
The Indianapolis Colts have been in contact with multiple teams about a possible trade of quarterback Daniel Jones, with the Minnesota Vikings identified as the most likely suitor.
The Indianapolis Colts are reportedly exploring trade options for quarterback Daniel Jones, according to a report that cites ESPNFL. The article notes that the Baltimore Ravens checked on Jones but ultimately signed quarterback Jacoby Brissett after a deal with the Arizona Cardinals. The Minnesota Vikings are the only other team specifically mentioned, though the report describes the interest as speculative.
Past ESPNFL coverage of a potential trade for running back Jonathan Taylor listed several clubs, but the current discussion of Jones appears limited to the Vikings. Analysts suggest that, absent a major injury to a starting quarterback on a playoff contender, the Vikings may be the sole team actively pursuing Jones before the trade deadline.
The report also highlights that Jones' contract includes a 2027 roster bonus and base salary that become fully guaranteed in March, which could be waived to facilitate a trade. If Jones chooses not to waive the guarantee, he could block a move.
The article cautions that Jones' health in the upcoming game against the Dallas Cowboys could affect any trade prospects, noting that an injury would likely end negotiations.
