This season, Jones
has struggled with turnovers, throwing nine interceptions through eight games, while also losing a few fumbles. He's completed just 60% of his passes and is averaging only 5.8 yards per pass attempt, well below last season's figure of 8.1 yards per throw.
However, Shane Steichen pointed out this week that while Jones has to improve, so does the play around him.
"Daniel Jones is due $38 million in 2027, with only about $10.5 guaranteed for injury until March," Pelissero added. "That’s mid-tier QB money, giving whoever the new GM is optionality as the rebuild begins."
Jones signed a two-year, $88 million deal during the offseason to remain in Indianapolis.
