Beyond Colts, Daniel Jones drew 'more interest' than realized, says NFL insider

The Indianapolis Colts ended up signing free agent quarterback Daniel Jones back in March, but according to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Jones was drawing a lot of interest at that time. "There were teams around the league that had a need at the quarterback position, or potentially, that really liked Daniel Jones," Schefter said on NFL Live, via Horseshoe Huddle. "The Colts were not the only ones. There was more interest in Daniel Jones out there than people realize." Advertisement Schefter did not mention which other teams were interested. But as free agency unfolded, the Colts and Minnesota Vikings were the primary suitors we heard linked to Jones, although as Schefter points out, others were in on the conversation as well. Jones signed just a one-year deal with the Colts, but the amount of the contract and how much of it is guaranteed are other indicators that it was a competitive environment when it came to landing Jones. His deal with the Colts is worth $14 million, including $13.15 million of it guaranteed, and can be worth up to $17.7 million with incentives. Although not guaranteed to start, Jones' cap hit this season will be the 18th largest at the quarterback position in 2025. "In many cases, it's worth following the money," Schefter said. "The Indianapolis Colts are paying Daniel Jones more this year than the Pittsburgh Steelers are paying Aaron Rodgers. So, there is certainly some sense of expectation that at some point this season, maybe sooner rather than later, depending on how Anthony Richardson is recovering, we're gonna see Daniel Jones out there at some point." Advertisement From Jones' perspective, along with the contract, he saw a real opportunity to compete for a starting job, which isn't always easy to find in the NFL. However, the Colts are fully leaning into this competition component at the quarterback position, and Jones looks to be the next quarterback to give his career a jolt while with a new team. With Anthony Richardson having missed most of OTAs and minicamp, Jones took the bulk of the first-team reps during those practices. While that won't determine who the Week 1 starter is, one would think that, to some degree, Jones will enter training camp with the upper hand.

A lockout is looming over MLB in December 2026, with a salary cap fight possibly at the center

ATLANTA (AP) — Looming over baseball is a likely lockout in December 2026, a possible management push for a salary cap and perhaps lost regular-season games for the first time since 1995. 'No one's talking about it, but we all know that they're going to lock us out for it, and then we're going to miss time," New York Mets All-Star first baseman Pete Alonso said Monday at the All-Star Game. 'We're definitely going to fight to not have a salary cap and the league's obviously not going to like that.' Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred and some owners have cited payroll disparity as a problem, while at the same time MLB is working to address a revenue decline from regional sports networks. Unlike the NFL, NBA and NHL, baseball has never had a salary cap because its players staunchly oppose one. Despite higher levels of luxury tax that started in 2022, the World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets have pushed payrolls to record levels. The last small-market MLB club to win a World Series was the Kansas City Royals in 2015. After signing outfielder Juan Soto to a record $765 million contract, New York opened this season with an industry-high $326 million payroll, nearly five times Miami's $69 million, according to Major League Baseball's figures. Using luxury tax payrolls, based on average annual values that account for future commitments and include benefits, the Dodgers were first at $400 million and on track to owe a record luxury tax of about $151 million — shattering the previous tax record of $103 million set by Los Angeles last year. 'When I talk to the players, I don't try to convince them that a salary cap system would be a good thing,' Manfred told the Baseball Writers' Association of America on Tuesday. 'I identify a problem in the media business and explain to them that owners need to change to address that problem. I then identify a second problem that we need to work together and that is that there are fans in a lot of our markets who feel like we have a competitive balance problem.' Baseball's collective bargaining agreement expires Dec. 1, 2026, and management lockouts have become the norm, which shifts the start of a stoppage to the offseason. During the last negotiations, the sides reached a five-year deal on March 10 after a 99-day lockout, salvaging a 162-game 2022 season. 'A cap is not about a partnership. A cap isn't about growing the game,' union head Tony Clark said Tuesday. 'A cap is about franchise values and profits. ... A salary cap historically has limited contract guarantees associated with it, literally pits one player against another and is often what we share with players as the definitive non-competitive system. It doesn't reward excellence. It undermines it from an organizational standpoint. That's why this is not about competitive balance. It's not about a fair versus not. This is institutionalized collusion.' The union's opposition to a cap has paved the way for record-breaking salaries for star players. Soto's deal is believed to be the richest in pro sports history, eclipsing Shohei Ohtani's $700 million deal with the Dodgers signed a year earlier. By comparison, the biggest guaranteed contract in the NFL is $250 million for Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen. Manfred cites that 10% of players earn 72% of salaries. 'I never use the word `salary' within one of `cap,'' he said. 'What I do say to them is in addressing this competitive issue that's real we should think about whether this system is the perfect system from a players' perspective.' A management salary cap proposal could contain a salary floor and a guaranteed percentage of revenue to players. Baseball players have endured nine work stoppages, including a 7 1/2-month strike in 1994-95 that fought off a cap proposal. 'We've heard it for 20 years. It's almost like the childhood fable,' he said. 'This very traditional, same approach is not something that would lead the younger players to the gingerbread house.' ___
