I agree. At this point, it is not a fluke, and the sooner we extend, the better deal the Colts get. However, I am not sure how soon he can be extended. I am thinking it won't be until the end of the season, but I am not sure.

I may be in the minority here but I say wait. It’s only been 5 games. If we get to late November/December and he’s still cooking, go for it.

But it’s still a pretty small sample size right now.

I'm with you in this, but would go a steep further. If this continues for the rest of the season, franchise him. If he then dies it again next year, THEN give him the big money deal. 2023 Daniel Jones is a thing that happened.

no need to pay the guy right now.

hell we could slap the tag on him next year if we wanted. I wouldn't do that if he keeps playing well but we could

I saw someone say that the more film teams get on Jones in Steichens offense, the harder it will be for him to keep this up. Which is true.

I also think Jonathon Taylor’s role in how well Jones is playing has been seriously understated. Taylor is playing as well as he ever has and it puts an extreme amount of pressure on defenses.

If he got hurt, I think Jones would suffer tremendously.

A lot of information is still needed before we crown the guy, that’s all I’m saying.

For sure, and we don't seem to have a decent backup like when we had Moss.

Warren. Warren has changed the entire dynamic of this offense. TE went from being entirely absent to a if not the focal point. This guy is special, a unicorn as they say in the NBA who is exceptional at everything it seems. Brings a mentality we needed. Everyone looks good when you are winning but Warren stands above and is a freaking rookie.

I am with the group that wants to see DJ navigate this offense when we have several players out. Can he elevate his game and carry a team? If he can give him whatever he wants, if he can't still sign him but not at the absolute top level. If he needs top talent to win you need to be able to retain top talent.

He's just going to get more expensive, the longer you wait. Not only that, but we will certainly get out bid for Jones services, if he hits the free agent market.

Ehhh, it’s gotta be a fit for Jones. He doesn’t wanna end up back in a situation like New York.

There is a world in which Minnesota wants to resign him if Mcarthy doesn’t work out, in which case I would be concerned.

This is assuming he continues playing at a high level.

We have the ability to tag him and work out a deal.
