Colts Overpay Jones, Seahawks Stick to Value

On March 11th, the Indianapolis Colts just signed quarterback Daniel Jones to a two-year deal worth up to $100 million.

This move stands out especially when you compare it to how the Seattle Seahawks handle things under General Manager John Schneider.

Earlier this off-season, Schneider avoided overpaying for quarterbacks like Sam Darnold.

Instead landing him on a three-year contract, maxing at one, $105 million.

Schneider sticks to his valuation of players, never chasing the hottest free agents right away.

Fans and pundits sometimes question Schneider's patience, but his track record speaks for itself.

Take while receiver Rashid Shaheed, who signed a three-year deal averaging $17 million a season key for Seattle's top NFC seed and super.

Bull run thanks to his return skills.

That approach keeps Seattle competitive without forcing bad money moves, unlike what the Colts might face now with Jones.

Schneider builds through smart drafts, targeted free agency, and strong coaching.

As long as he's calling the shots, the Seahawks stay ahead of the curve in a league full of risky bets.
