Summary
Daniel Jones said he was "not happy" after Indianapolis traded away four key teammates before Tuesday's NFL deadline, leaving the 2-7 Colts with a thinner roster for the rest of the season.
Ed Dodds dealt guard Quenton Nelson, defensive tackle DeForest Buckner and receivers Keenan Allen and Josh Downs as the front office pivoted to collecting draft capital rather than chasing wins.
Jones, 29, has struggled through nine games with six touchdown passes, 10 interceptions and a 68.9 passer rating, numbers that have helped drive the club's selloff.
The teardown still looked incomplete: Indianapolis reportedly rejected a Giants offer of a second- and fifth-round pick for Jonathan Taylor and failed to finish a Grover Stewart trade.
With their 2027 first-round pick already owed to the Jets from the Sauce Gardner deal, the Colts now face a longer rebuild while veterans remain on a fading roster.
