Colts Lock in Daniel Jones, Richardson's Future Uncertain

Jones, now 28, flashed serious promise before an Achilles tear sidelined him. He hit 68% of his passes for over 3,100 yards, 19 touchdowns, and just eight picks plus some rushing scores. Colts GM, Chris Ballard, raved about his work ethic and team first vibe on a recent show, saying they fought hard to resign him. The whole organization is buzzing with optimism. Jones' early season fire is the real deal and he'll bounce back strong next year. They wanted him secure before free agency chaos hit, knowing quarterbacks can get overhyped
