BREAKING: Daniel Jones to Colts? Final Decision Revealed – NFL World Stunned by This Move

It hasn’t been long since Daniel Jones parted ways with the New York Giants—just last November—but his name still resonates with fans. After a quiet stint with the Minnesota Vikings, where he didn’t log any playing time, Jones has landed with the Indianapolis Colts.

The Colts generated buzz when they signed Jones in the offseason, presumably to create competition for the starting quarterback spot alongside Anthony Richardson. But plans have shifted. Richardson suffered a sprained AC joint in his throwing shoulder during OTAs on June 5—the same injury that cut his rookie season short.

Daniel Jones Steps Into the Spotlight

With Richardson sidelined, Jones is now expected to take most, if not all, of the first-team reps in minicamp. As WISH-TV’s Angela Moryan reported, “The Horseshoe prepares to kick off veteran minicamp on Tuesday with Daniel Jones taking the majority — if not all — the starting quarterback reps.” While Richardson was the presumed starter, the injury may have opened the door for Jones to take over.

Make-or-Break Year for Jones

Jones signed a one-year, $14 million contract with Indianapolis back in March, and 2025 may be his final shot to prove he’s a viable starting quarterback. Analyst Ryan Smith named Jones one of the NFL quarterbacks under the most pressure this season in a recent PFF article. Despite earning solid PFF grades in four of his six seasons, Jones hasn’t consistently led a successful team.

If he performs well, Jones could secure a longer-term deal and potentially reestablish himself as a starter. If not, he risks falling into backup status for the rest of his career.

Richardson, meanwhile, has only appeared in 15 games over two seasons due to injury issues and uneven play. Even before the latest setback, he came with risk.

Now, all eyes are on Daniel Jones as he prepares to potentially lead the Colts onto the field this fall. Giants fans will be watching to see if their former quarterback can take advantage of this fresh start.
