The Indianapolis Colts paid Daniel Jones something between backup and starter money in free agency. Now they plan to make good on their quarterback investment, with coach Shane Steichen revealing Monday that Jones will split first-team reps with incumbent starter Anthony Richardson in spring practices.

Steichen said the Colts intend to divvy up the reps throughout the offseason, according to NBC Sports, but didn’t provide a specific timeline for naming a 2025 starter. So barring an otherworldly performance from either Jones or Richardson in organized team activities, the Colts’ competition is likely to run through training camp and perhaps preseason, just as the Las Vegas Raiders‘ open competition did in 2024.

Jones signed a one-year, $14 million deal with the Colts early in free agency, and can earn an additional $3.7 million via performance incentives. Those numbers would easily make him the NFL’s highest-paid backup, or a lower-end starter in the ballpark of the New York JetsJustin Fields ($20 million). Either way, the former New York Giants first-round draft pick is set to earn more than Richardson in 2025.

Richardson was in and out of the Colts’ lineup in 2024. Drafted No. 4 overall out of Florida in 2023, the young quarterback has missed a combined 19 games over his first two years due to injuries. He was also briefly benched in favor of Joe Flacco as a second-year starter, completing just 48% of his passes on the season, before telling reporters he’s battled back issues since childhood.

Jets’ unlikely heroes step up to help beat Blues in Game 5: Takeaways

On Wednesday night, Vladislav Namestnikov was the unlikeliest hero for Winnipeg, stepping up in Mark Scheifele’s absence to propel the Winnipeg Jets to a 5-3 win over the St. Louis Blues and a 3-2 series lead.Here was a player who had zero points in the series – a player not viewed as a “real” second-line centre. The Jets had picked him up for a fourth-round pick in 2023, to no fanfare at all, and then replaced him at No. 2C with Sean Monahan last season, before trying to do it all over again this year.AdvertisementWinnipeg worked hard to upgrade at the trade deadline, ultimately falling short in its quest to acquire Brock Nelson.The Jets didn’t land their coveted No. 2 centre – and yet, there was Namestnikov, playing on Winnipeg’s top line after Scheifele left the game, scoring a goal […]

Vémola potvrdil největší výplatu kariéry, zabojuje také o speciální pás

Co říkáte na speciální pás, o nějž s Véghem zabojujete? Pás Infinity (v předkladu nekonečno) symbolizuje něco víc.Je to pro mě novinka. Ať je tam ale jakýkoli pás, tak si hlavně myslím, že nám jde o výhru a odkaz, který s námi zůstane. Infinity to možná vystihuje, protože je to něco, co mě bude doprovázet do konce života. Každý den, za pět či deset let. Je to něco, o čem budou lidi mluvit. Nebudou mluvit o Kinclovi či Iličovi. Všichni budou mluvit, jak to dopadlo mezi mnou a Attilou. Infinity k tomu sedí a myslím si, že se mi do sbírky bude náramně hodit. Těším se na to. (úsměv)Není ten název až příliš zavazující?Zavazující je celý zápas, trilogie i náš odkaz. Tohle je něco, co mě bude doprovázet celý život. Když někam půjdu, tak budu slyšet reakce lidí, kteří budou například říkat: To nevadí, jak to dopadlo. Tohle jsou věci, které […]

Ginastas portugueses entram para o Guinness Book com 14 mortais

Os atletas são do Acro Clube da Maia, localizado na cidade da Maia, distrito do Porto, norte de Portugal. O feito foi durante uma apresentação televisiva em um estúdio do canal Mediaset, da cidade de Milão, na Itália, que faz um programa dedicado a quebra de recordes. “Esse recorde foi impulsionado pela força das redes sociais. Recebemos convites via Instagram para participar no programa e, no início, nem sabíamos bem o que esperar. Para nós, o que esses ginastas fazem já parece algo ‘normal’, mas perceber o impacto que tem nas pessoas foi uma surpresa enorme. Ter acrobatas portugueses no Guinness é, sem dúvida, algo extraordinário”, declarou ao jornal O Jogo o técnico português Lourenço França, que acompanhou o feito de seus atletas internacional.

NFL coaching legend Bill Belichick found himself in the spotlight recently, not for his achievements on the gridiron, but for an uncomfortable moment during his interview on CBS Sunday Morning. While promoting his new book, The Art of Winning: Lessons from My Life in Football, Belichick's girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, stepped into the conversation, prompting widespread criticism. The incident has since stirred debate about their relationship and professional dynamic, with two of Belichick's former players, Rob Gronkowski and Julian Edelman, weighing in to support their former coach.
