Who Should I Start? Daniel Jones or Tyler Shough

Monday, November 9, 9:46 AM

When speaking to the media on Monday, Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen would not confirm if the team has told quarterback Daniel Jones that he will not be traded, according to Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan. The Colts reportedly informed Jones on Saturday that he will not be moved by Tuesday's trade deadline, according to The Ringer's Tom Pelissero, but that does not mean that the 29-year-old signal-caller will not be on the move if the Colts receive an offer too good to pass up. Jones has been one of the worst starting QBs in the NFL through the first half of the 2026 season after coming off a torn Achilles tendon late last year. His disappointing second year with the Colts continued in the Week 9 loss in a plus matchup against the Dallas Cowboys, as Jones went 20-for-34 passing for only 180 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. It has not helped Jones' cause that he has been without top wideout Alec Pierce (heel) for most of the year, and the receiver remains out for the foreseeable future. Still, Jones will have more QB2 streaming appeal this weekend if he remains with the Colts past Tuesday's deadline for a Week 10 matchup against the Miami Dolphins.
