ESPN's Adam Schefter, on the Adam Schefter Podcast, hinted that Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones could be a surprising trade candidate ahead of the NFL's Nov. 10 deadline.

Schefter noted, 'I know we're focused on Taylor and Downs, as we should be, and I'm not telling you that they're trading Daniel, but I'm just telling you sometimes it's the curveball that you don't see.'

Jones has struggled this season, throwing just five touchdown passes and nine interceptions, while the Colts are 2-6 in his starts.

The Colts have already traded away key players like Quenton Nelson and DeForest Buckner, and speculation continues around running back Jonathan Taylor and tight end Josh Downs.

According to Schefter, the Colts could make a 'curveball' trade, indicating that Jones might be a part of such a deal.

Jones expressed his high hopes for the remainder of the season, saying, 'Not only do I have expectations, I have really sound basis of saying, we're better than [what we've shown], and we can improve in the areas that have really frustrated us, especially last week.'

The NFL trade deadline has historically been less chaotic compared to the NBA and MLB trade deadlines, but this year has seen a flurry of trades involving big names.

The Colts reportedly are seeking a trade package similar to what the Carolina Panthers received for Christian McCaffrey at the 2022 trade deadline.

The NFL trade deadline is approaching with a flurry of blockbuster deals and aggressive trading strategies, as seen in previous years.
