By Anthony Richardson nursing another injury to this Offseason, Daniel Jones has made up any basis in the fight for the starting team in Indianapolis.
Signed this offseason to put pressure on Richardson for the starting team in Colts, Jones has taken advantage of the extra work and built a relationship with Michael Pittman, Alec Pierce, rookie Tyler Tyler Warren, etc.
“Very pleased with what we got now,” said Shane Steichen on Thursday through CBS4 Indy. “He has done a hell of a job. Really smart footballer.
After being released by New York Giants during the season, Jones in Minnesota landed as a backup behind Sam Darnold. The Vikings reportedly had some interest in signing him this offseason, but QB beat one year, a $ 14 million contract in Indy, which would give him a way to fight for the starting team.
