Daniel Jones: Next Sam Darnold?
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones, re-signed to a two-year, $88 million contract, is seen as a strong candidate to become the ‘Next Sam Darnold’ in 2026, according to NFL.com’s Jeffri Chadiha. After a promising 2025 season cut short by a torn Achilles, Jones looks to build on his success with support from key players like Jonathan Taylor and coach Shane Steichen. His journey mirrors Darnold’s, as both faced setbacks with previous teams before finding stability. If Jones can maintain his performance and durability, he could elevate the Colts and himself significantly.
