Daniel Jones is probably coming back to the Indianapolis Colts. Everyone knew that was going to happen either through being re-signed or having the franchise or transition tag applied to him, right? Now that that has happened, what's next?
This isn't as easy to answer as it seems. After all, no guarantee exists that Jones will be ready in Week 1 of the 2026 season, or even Week 6. After tearing his Achilles tendon in Week 14, he could miss much of next year, so was bringing him back the right move at all?
The truth is, general manager Chris Ballard didn't have much of a choice.
