Daniel Jones has had a strong start to his time with the Indianapolis Colts. The former New York Giants quarterback (who struggled with the team) has been able to lead the Colts to two wins to open the season, where he has thrown for a combined 588 yards.However, according to NFL insider Tom Pellissero, Jones' path to arrive in Indianapolis surprised another team. He said the following on the Ross Tucker Podcast in May, months before the season began.“It sounded like the Vikings thought Daniel Jones was coming back…he ended up taking a little bit less in terms of guaranteed money from the Colts.”Jones' spell with the Giants ended midway through the 2024 season after he requested his release. As a free agent, he would sign for the Minnesota Vikings, a team that was in playoff contention under Sam Darnold. Jones never played a snap for the Vikings.However, the Vikings seemed to expect that Jones would resign for the team to serve as a likely backup quarterback to the returning J.J. McCarthy, who spent the whole 2024 season out with an injury.As we now know, Jones did not take any potential offer the Vikings were going to put to him. Instead, he signed for the Indianapolis Colts. Here, while he would be guaranteed less money, there would likely be a greater chance to play, as Anthony Richardson had been struggling to stay healthy during his time with the Colts.In the end, and a brief quarterback battle between the two, Jones won out. Two games into the season, and it looks like a right decision was made, with Jones playing some of the best football in his career.His gain is the Vikings' loss, with Minnesota having Carson Wentz (the former Eagles QB who has never been the same since leaving Philadelphia) and Desmond Ridder as backups to McCarthy.Daniel Jones on the Indianapolis Colts' offensive lineDaniel Jones made an apperance on the Up and Adams show on Wednesday to discuss his start to the season. When discussing his offensive line, he said the following:"Very, very good. Pass protection has been incredible, and we’ve run the ball well when we’ve needed to.”For Jones, this offensive line is something that he has likely wanted for the last eight years.During his time with the Giants, this was one of the weakest lines in the league and could not provide the protection he needed, leading to his long term struggles.This is not what is happening with the Colts, and the stronger line is helping him and the team succeed.
