The Daniel Jones Sabotage Plan: Should the Jets Sign Him Just to Destroy the Colts?
Podcast: Evan & TikiPublished On: Wed Mar 04 2026
Description: The quarterback carousel is spinning and the New York Jets may need to get creative. Evan and Tiki kick off the conversation by breaking down the rarely used transition tag and why it almost never applies to quarterbacks. In fact, the last QB to receive it was Jeff George back in 1996. That leads to a fascinating listener idea: what if the Jets made a massive offer to Daniel Jones not necessarily because they believe in him, but because it could damage the Indianapolis Colts? With the Jets holding Indy’s future first-round pick, weakening the Colts could mean a much higher draft selection. The guys debate whether the Jets could realistically pull something like this off. Would the Colts match a big offer sheet? Would the Jets be willing to massively overpay Jones just for the strategic advantage? And is using free agency as a form of roster sabotage brilliant or completely ridiculous? It’s a classic Jets dilemma: when there’s no perfect quarterback plan, do you gamble big… or just hope the chaos works in your favor?
