It\u2019s 2023 all over again for Daniel Jones.<\/p>\n
That year, the Giants had two key impending free agents \u2014 Jones and running back Saquon Barkley. They wanted to sign Barkley to a long-term deal and to tag Jones. When talks with Barkley bogged down, they signed Jones and tagged Barkley.<\/p>\n
During the 2024 season, after Barkley had left in free agency in lieu of a second tag, the Giants cut Jones.<\/p>\n
This time around, the Colts apparently hope to sign Jones and tag receiver Alec Pierce. Jones and the Colts are talking; Adam Schefter of ESPN.com told Pat McAfee on Monday that the chances of the Colts and Jones getting a deal done before Tuesday\u2019s 4:00 p.m. ET deadline are \u201c50\/50<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n They could sign Pierce to a long-term deal, or they could tag Jones and let Pierce hit free agency. Regardless, the Colts are trying to get Jones signed.<\/p>\n The franchise tag for Jones would cost the Colts $43.895 million. The Colts also could use the transition tag (which gives them a right to match and nothing else) at $37.833 million.<\/p>\n Whatever the outcome, it will be a win for Jones. He signed a one-year, $14 million deal with the Colts last year, and he\u2019s recovering from a torn Achilles tendon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s 2023 all over again for Daniel Jones.
