Daniel Jones' contract factors into his starting role with Colts

Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen confirmed Daniel Jones will remain the starting quarterback. NFL insider Tom Pelissero emphasized that the team has not considered benching Jones, despite challenges including playing with limited offensive weapons. A $10.51 million injury guarantee in Jones' contract could impact the Colts' decision if their playoff hopes diminish. Jones signed a two-year, $88 million deal, creating potential for the Colts to release him after the season with significant cap implications. His performance has been below expectations, completing 59% of passes with four touchdowns and seven interceptions.
