Colts’ first Daniel Jones offer sits near Darnold’s deal under transition tag

The Colts’ initial offer to Daniel Jones was reportedly in the same $100.5 million, three-year ballpark as Sam Darnold’s deal.

The Colts’ plan hinges on whether another team makes a viable offer they’d be willing to match beyond the 4:00 p.m. ET deadline.
