Colts eye two-year extension with Daniel Jones

The Indianapolis Colts are nearing a two-year extension with quarterback Daniel Jones worth about $88 million (up to $100 million), after the team used the transition tag earlier in free agency. The deal would give both sides flexibility beyond 2026 as Jones recovers from an Achilles injury, following a season with 3,101 yards, 19 TDs, eight INTs, a 68.0% completion rate and five rushing TDs. The Colts also secured Alec Pierce on a four-year, $114 million deal, as they look to keep Jones beyond 2026.

Eagles chase Williams-style blockbuster for A.J. Brown

Philadelphia remains in a holding pattern on A.J. Brown, with reports that the Eagles want a Quinnen Williams–type package—a first‑round pick plus a second‑round sweetener—before moving him. The high asking price reflects Howie Roseman’s view that the receiver isn’t strictly needed to win now and could create significant dead money if a deal is struck, though waiting until after June 1 would ease cap impact at the cost of immediate draft capital. If no trade materializes before free agency, Brown could stay in Philadelphia for another season as the team navigates a crowded offseason and prepares for the 2026 NFL Draft.
