Tagging Jones may not have been optimal, but the Colts had to do it.

As Colt fans, we did not get our optimal results for the tag designation period. In a perfect world, Jones would have signed a team/cap friendly deal that allowed the Colts to tag Pierce. I understand that there is also a faction out there that were perfectly willing to let Jones walk or at minimum […]

The transition tag allows Indianapolis to match any offer Jones receives, […]

According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, while the Indianapolis Colts made an ‘aggressive move’ to re-sign Alec Pierce before Tuesday’s late afternoon league tag deadline, all signs were already pointing to the team’s lead wideout testing the free agent waters next mid-week—short of the Horseshoe applying the franchise tag (which the transition tag went to […]

Colts capology: By placing transition tag on QB Daniel Jones, Indy is currently over the cap, but have flexibility

The Indianapolis Colts have reportedly placed the transition tag, worth $37.833 million, on pending free agent starting quarterback Daniel Jones, which means they’re currently a projected $4.7 million over the 2026 team salary cap (via Fox59/CBS4’s Mike Chappell): Now, the Colts salary cap situation remains entirely fluid.

Raiders’ Jonah Laulu provided best value of all defensive tackles

Tom Telesco didn’t accomplish a ton in his one year as the Las Vegas Raiders’ general manager (drafting Brock Bowers will always be a great decision, though), but he had some nice moments. Claiming defensive tackle Jonah Laulu off waivers was certainly one of them. The Las Vegas native was cut by the Indianapolis Colt […]
