JUST IN: Indianapolis Colts Sign QB Daniel Jones in Blockbuster Deal; Sam Ehlinger Joins Broncos, Anthony Richardson Departs
In a stunning move, the Indianapolis Colts have signed former New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones in a high-profile deal, signaling a major shift in their offensive plans. The move comes amid significant changes in the Colts’ quarterback room, as Sam Ehlinger has been traded to the Denver Broncos, and Anthony Richardson has parted ways with the team following contract disagreements.
Jones, who previously led the Giants, now steps into the spotlight in Indianapolis. Despite his struggles with injuries and consistency, the Colts are betting on his upside and experience to bring stability to their offense.
Meanwhile, Sam Ehlinger, who served as a backup in Indianapolis, will now compete for a role in Denver. The Broncos, in need of quarterback depth, see him as a potential option alongside their current roster.
The biggest shock, however, is the departure of Anthony Richardson, who was expected to be the Colts’ franchise quarterback. Reports indicate that disagreements over his contract and role led to an abrupt termination of his deal. This unexpected exit leaves fans questioning the Colts’ long-term strategy.
With Jones now at the helm, the Colts enter a new era. Whether this gamble pays off remains to be seen, but one thing is certain—Indianapolis has made a bold statement with this move.
