Colts QB Daniel Jones lands on ‘shocking’ career earnings list
Daniel Jones turned his Indianapolis Colts revival into a big-time payday, and the quarterback’s career earnings are reflecting it.
Bleacher Report included Jones on its list of 20 athletes “whose career earnings would shock you,” highlighting how much the former No. 6 overall pick has made despite an at-times bumpy start to his NFL career.
"The No. 6 overall pick in the 2019 draft looked like a star in the making when he threw for 3,027 yards and 24 touchdowns as a rookie, but that ended up being his peak in a Giants uniform," B/R's Joel Reuter wrote.
Via Spotrac , Jones had earned $122.84 million through the 2025 season. That total includes more than $108 million from six seasons with the New York Giants , a brief stop with the Minnesota Vikings , and $14.6 million from his first year in Indianapolis.
The number will climb more in 2026.
Jones re-signed with the Colts in March on a two-year, $88 million contract that can reach $100 million with incentives.
The deal includes $60 million guaranteed and calls for $50 million in cash this season, according to Spotrac. That would push his career cash earnings beyond $172 million by the end of 2026.
The Colts rewarded Jones after a career-reviving 2025 campaign. He completed 68% of his passes for 3,101 yards, 19 touchdowns and eight interceptions while leading Indianapolis to an 8-5 record in his 13 starts.
Jones’ season ended with a torn Achilles in Week 14, but he was fully cleared for training camp and is on track to start the 2026 opener.
