Daniel Jones News
Tuesday, March 3, 10:47 AM
The Indianapolis Colts are placing the transition tag on impending free-agent quarterback Daniel Jones (Achilles) on Tuesday, sources told Adam Schefter of ESPN. The transition tag is $37.833 million, more than $6 million cheaper than the QB franchise tag. It allows Jones to sign an offer sheet with another team, with the Colts having the right to match any offer. The Minnesota Vikings are a team to watch, although they probably aren't in a position to spend big at the position this offseason with limited salary cap space. The 28-year-old and the Colts now have until July 15 to work out a long-term extension, and there is mutual interest on both sides. Jones completed 68% of his passes for 3,101 yards with 19 touchdowns and eight interceptions before tearing his Achilles in Week 14. He was given a six- to eight-month timetable after having surgery in December. Jones' 2026 fantasy value will depend on whether he stays with the Colts and whether he'll be ready to go for Week 1.

Shedeur Sanders News
Wednesday, February 25, 8:35 AM
New Cleveland Browns head coach Todd Monken said Wednesday that he thinks the team's starting quarterback job is "an open competition" and said he "doesn't know why it wouldn't be" when questioned by the media, per Zac Jackson of The Athletic. Jackson reports that Monken said he sees "elite playmaking ability" in Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders, but remained noncommittal about Sanders' status as the QB1 favorite. As a rookie in 2025, Sanders completed 56.6% of his pass attempts for 1,400 yards, seven touchdowns, and 10 interceptions across eight games (seven starts). Sanders took over as the team's starter in Week 12, replacing fellow rookie signal-caller Dillon Gabriel. In 10 games (six starts), Gabriel completed 59.5% of his pass attempts for 937 yards, seven touchdowns, and two interceptions. While Sanders could very well open 2026 as the starter in Cleveland, it appears as though the team is leaving the door open to the possibility of bringing in another quarterback over the offseason or simply staging more internal competition.
