Background

This market asks which team Daniel Jones will be playing for next, and it resolves Dec. 1, 2026. Jones is the Indianapolis Colts quarterback. The Minnesota Vikings were the main team linked to him ahead of the NFL trade deadline at 4 p.m. ET on Nov. 10, 2026, but the Colts kept him and Minnesota traded for Kirk Cousins instead.

The key point for reading the odds is that the deadline has passed, so no trade can happen until the 2027 league year opens March 11, after the market resolves. Indianapolis is the heavy favorite because Jones is expected to finish the season with the Colts. A trade or release before June 1, 2027 would leave $35.2 million in dead money, which makes an early move costly for the team.

Nov. 11, 2026: Will Daniel Jones Be Traded? Colts Keep QB as Vikings Get Cousins

Will Daniel Jones Be Traded From the Colts? No, Not Before the 2027 League Year

No. The Indianapolis Colts kept Daniel Jones through the NFL trade deadline at 4 p.m. ET on Nov. 10, 2026, and ESPN confirmed that Jones and running back Jonathan Taylor both remained with the team. Under league rules, no trade can occur until the 2027 league year opens March 11.

On Kalshi, the Indianapolis outcome in the Daniel Jones Next Team market rose from 75% to 97%, a 22-point gain. The price stood at 97% on Nov. 11.

Vikings Inquired About Jones, Then Traded for Kirk Cousins

The sequence started on Saturday, Nov. 8. The Colts told Jones he would not be traded before the deadline, and sources said the team "never had any intention of moving him." After a 27-23 loss to Dallas dropped Indianapolis to 2-7, Jones said, "I love playing for Shane," referring to head coach Shane Steichen.

Minnesota then tested that position. After Carson Wentz struggled in a 23-6 Monday night loss to Buffalo, Adam Schefter said the Vikings would likely contact Indianapolis about Jones, NDTV reported. Pro Football Rumors listed Jones among Minnesota's quarterback targets, alongside Justin Herbert and Geno Smith. Jordan Schultz reported that the Vikings did inquire, but the Colts "did not want to move Jones," according to Heavy.

Minnesota sent a 2027 third-round pick to Las Vegas for Kirk Cousins roughly 85 to 90 minutes before the deadline, according to Heavy and Front Office Sports. ESPN's 5:47 p.m. ET report that Jones had stayed with the Colts followed.

What Could Still Change Jones's Status: March 11 and the 2027 League Year

The 3% left in the market reflects the next window. Jones's 2027 cap hit is $46.8 million, and a trade or release before June 1, 2027 would leave $35.2 million in dead money. About $10.5 million of his 2027 salary stays injury-guaranteed until March 15. A move early in the offseason would be costly for Indianapolis, though it remains possible.

For the rest of the season, Jones plays for the Colts, starting with Miami on Sunday and then at Houston on Thursday, Nov. 19. The next date that matters is March 11, when the 2027 league year opens and the trade window reopens.
