During an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, former player and current analyst Pat McAfee surprised the quarterback with an unexpected proposal: “We want you to sign a 10-year contract here,” he said jokingly.
Although the statement seemed like a joke, McAfee hinted at the deep respect and admiration he feels for Daniel Jones.
“We’re very lucky to have you in our city,” he added, reflecting the enthusiasm the player has generated among fans and within the organization.
We want you to sign a ten year contract here @Daniel_Jones10..

Daniel Jones powers the Colts with stellar performances
The 2025 season has been a redemption arc for Daniel Jones. After his departure from the New York Giants, few expected him to become the driving force behind the Colts’ offense.
However, his consistency and precision have silenced critics. In just eight weeks, he has completed over 71% of his passes, racking up 272 yards and three touchdowns in his most recent win.
The financial impact hasn’t gone unnoticed either. Thanks to an incentive clause in his one-year, $14 million contract, Jones has already earned a $600,000 bonus.
Each win and each snap increases his market value, making the prospect of a long-term deal more plausible than ever.
The rebirth of Daniel Jones in Indianapolis
Far from the doubts that haunted him in New York, Daniel Jones seems to have found his rhythm under head coach Shane Steichen.
The Colts’ offensive system enhances his ability to read defenses and execute quick passes — at times resembling the talent he showed in his college days.
Today, Daniel Jones isn’t just putting up impressive stats; he’s earning respect. His resurgence in Indianapolis could mark the beginning of a new era — one where a “fictional” 10-year contract might no longer sound like a joke, but rather a genuine possibility for the Colts.
