Indianapolis Colts

Daniel Jones

QB

The transition tag allots Jones a fully guaranteed $37.83 million salary for 2026 but allows him to negotiate with other teams, though Indianapolis retains the right to match any offer sheet. Jones carries a 6-8 month recovery timeline after undergoing Achilles surgery in December, so he could be ready for the start of training camp in July. Across 13 regular-season games in 2025, Jones completed 68.0 percent of his passes for 3,101 yards and a 19:8 TD:INT while also adding 45 carries for 164 yards and five scores. The former Giant was on pace for a career year, though a fibula injury suffered in Week 10 hampered his production even prior to his Achilles tear.

Anthony Richardson Sr.

QB

Richardson, the fourth overall pick of the 2023 NFL Draft, has played a total of just 17 games across his tenure with Indianapolis, with injuries playing a significant role in the extent of his missed time. Last summer, the 2023 first-round pick lost his starting job to quarterback Daniel Jones (Achilles), who suffered a season-ending injury midway through the 2025 campaign and was then replaced under center by free agent veteran Philip Rivers. Richardson meanwhile, was placed on injured reserve in October due to a fractured orbital bone of his right eye, but he made enough progress late in the season for the Colts to open his 21-day practice window. Though Richardson ultimately wasn't activated from IR, Boyd relays that the quarterback has regained full vision in the affected eye. Richardson has one year remaining on his rookie deal, and at this stage, his best-case scenario may be getting a fresh start elsewhere with a team that will give him the opportunity to compete for a starting gig in 2026.
