Who Should I Start? Daniel Jones or Jaxson Dart

Monday, February 23, 8:58 AM

The Indianapolis Colts and impending free-agent quarterback Daniel Jones (Achilles) have been in talks on a multi-year contract extension and are expected to meet face-to-face in Indy during this week's NFL scouting combine, according to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. The two sides have mutual interest in a reunion, and the Colts could resort to using the franchise tag on the veteran signal-caller if they cannot reach an extension by March 3. Jones was playing the best football of his career in 2025 in his first year with the Colts before suffering a season-ending Achilles tear in Week 14. The 28-year-old former sixth overall pick by the New York Giants in 2019 out of Duke threw for 3,101 yards, 19 touchdowns, and eight interceptions in 13 starts. All signs are pointing to Jones returning to Indy in 2026, although it's unclear if he'll be ready to start in the Week 1 regular-season opener.

Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer believes that New York Giants new offensive coordinator Matt Nagy will be a positive influence on young quarterback Jaxson Dart's development. Breer references Nagy's work with QB Alex Smith in Kansas City back in 2017, using many spread-offense elements to maximize Smith and to help develop Patrick Mahomes. "All the movement stuff the Chiefs were doing that year, in theory, should apply organically to Dart's physical skill set." Although KC's offense grew a bit stagnant in 2025 under Nagy, the Chiefs ranked 10th in offensive success rate and EPA per play during Nagy's three seasons as the offensive coordinator. Despite playing in only 14 games in his rookie year, Dart was the QB14 in fantasy with 2,276 passing yards, 15 touchdowns, and five interceptions while running for 487 yards and an additional nine TDs. With high-end playmakers in the backfield and at receiver, the sky is the limit for Dart going forward as long as his aggressive running style doesn't lead to injuries.
