Colts sign Daniel Jones and re-sign Alec Pierce for $116M — building something?

Alright, folks, DeAndre Simmons here for the Indianapolis News Wire, trying to make sense of the latest Colts' chess moves. The big headlines? We've brought in Daniel Jones at quarterback and locked down Alec Pierce for a cool $116 million over four years. Plus, Jonathan Owens is joining the secondary. On the flip side, we've shipped Michael Pittman Jr. off to Pittsburgh, which stings for a lot of fans.

Now, are we actually building something real here, or is this just another chapter in the Colts’ perpetual "almost there" saga? I want to believe. Jones brings a different dynamic, and Pierce has shown flashes. Owens adds some veteran presence. But let's be honest, Indy has seen these kinds of retooling efforts before. It feels hopeful, yes, but that familiar skepticism is already bubbling up. We've got pieces, but the question, as always, is whether they'll fit into a winning puzzle or just lead to another offseason of "what-ifs."
