In Short: Bleacher Report's Jones quote, 'I'm just telling you sometimes it's the curveball that you don't see,' hints at the possibility of a surprising trade ahead of the deadline.

ESPN's Adam Schefter suggested on the Adam Schefter Podcast that Colts quarterback Daniel Jones could be a surprise trade candidate before the NFL's Nov. 10 trade deadline.

Jones has just one season remaining on his deal past the 2026 campaign and has struggled this season, with five touchdown passes to nine interceptions, leading the Colts to a 2-6 record in his starts.

The Indianapolis Colts have already traded Quenton Nelson and DeForest Buckner, and speculation continues around Jonathan Taylor and Josh Downs.

Bleacher Report's Jones quote, 'I'm just telling you sometimes it's the curveball that you don't see,' hints at the possibility of a surprising trade ahead of the deadline.

Several teams, including division leaders, are chasing a Jonathan Taylor trade ahead of the NFL’s Nov. 10 deadline.

The NFL trade deadline is approaching with a flurry of blockbuster deals and aggressive trading strategies, as teams look to improve their rosters before the end of the season.

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 has historically been weak compared to the NBA and MLB trade deadlines, but this year's deadline could prove to be chaotic and wildly interesting.

The Bears and Colts are among the teams leading the charge, with the Colts reportedly seeking a significant trade package for Daniel Jones.
