Daniel Jones News
Wednesday, March 11, 7:27 AM
The Indianapolis Colts and quarterback Daniel Jones agreed to a two-year, $88 million deal on Wednesday that could be worth up to $100 million, multiple sources told Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. Jones will get $50 million in the first year, and it's the largest two-year contract in history. It officially makes Indiana Jones the Colts' franchise QB after his impressive first year with the team in 2025. The 28-year-old won't have to play the 2026 season on the transition tag, which would have paid him $37.83 million this year. Before tearing his right Achilles tendon in Week 14, the former sixth overall pick in 2019 by the New York Giants out of Duke had thrown for 3,101 yards, 19 touchdowns, and eight interceptions. Jones looked good last year in his first year with the team, but his uncertain recovery from a major injury will make him a pretty risky QB2 selection in fantasy football drafts later this year.

Kyle Pitts Sr. News
Friday, March 6, 1:46 PM
CBS Sports' Jonathan Jones reported this week that NFL teams will be calling the Atlanta Falcons to make trade offers for tight end Kyle Pitts Sr., per The Athletic's Josh Kendall. "Whether or not they listen is another question," Kendall writes. He adds that new head coach Kevin Stefanski has sounded like he wants to coach Pitts this year, and he's the only real pass-catching TE on the roster. If the Falcons were to trade Pitts for a couple of mid-round draft picks, Kendall thinks they'd have to turn around and use the additional draft capital to take a rookie tight end in this year's NFL draft. The dynamic around trading Pitts could change if Atlanta is able to land a starting-caliber TE in free agency, such as David Njoku or Darren Waller. New general manager Ian Cunningham said recently the Falcons want another year to decide on whether Pitts is worth a long-term deal, which is why they placed the franchise tag on him. The former fourth overall pick broke out for 88 catches, 928 yards, and five touchdowns in 2025, but with potential issues at the QB position, Pitts could be a volatile TE1 in fantasy.
