Daniel Jones has agreed to a one-year, $14 million deal with the Indianapolis Colts. Jones now becomes the primary competition for incumbent Anthony Richardson.

Fantasy Impact

Whether or not this move will improve the Colts is up for debate. On the one hand, unless Richardson vastly improves, they need another option at QB. On the other hand, is Jones much better? Both quarterbacks are capable runners, so the fit is decent regardless of who is behind center. But the passing game especially could struggle this year no matter who wins the job. Fantasy managers will need to play close attention over the offseason to the progress of both Jones and Richardson.

Daniel Jones is reportedly deciding between signing with the Colts or Vikings.

Fantasy Impact

Jones would either compete with Anthony Richardson in Indianapolis or return to Minnesota with the departure of Sam Darnold. J.J. McCarthy is expected to be fully cleared by training camp for Minnesota where he would compete with Jones.

The Vikings are expected to set their focus on re-signing QB Daniel Jones.

Fantasy Impact

Minnesota is not expected to look to retain Sam Darnold anymore. Jones signed with Minnesota in the middle of last season after he was released by the Giants. He would be an insurance option for Minnesota as J.J. McCarthy works his way back from his injury.

Daniel Jones is on the Colts radar this offseason.

Fantasy Impact

The Colts have said they are bringing in a quarterback this offseason to compete with Anthony Richardson, and it was likely going to be through free agency. The Athletic’s James Boyd mentioned the mobility of Jones would mean the Colts wouldn't have to change their offense much. Richardson is expected to work with with a biometrics coach (who also worked with Josh Allen) to improve his throwing motion ahead of the 2025 season.

The Vikings signed Daniel Jones to their active roster heading into the playoffs.

Fantasy Impact

This move puts Minnesota in line to get a compensatory pick for Jones if he leaves in free agency this offseason. Brett Rypien was waived as the corresponding move.
