This is the difference between the franchise tag and the transition tag for the Colts, as the transition tag would still allow other teams to talk to Jones and perhaps make him an offer the Colts couldn’t match. The Vikings reportedly were willing to offer Jones the same contract he got from the Colts last offseason, so it would be no surprise that they’d be one of his biggest suitors if he were available again. We’re anticipating a tag to come down for Jones in the next few hours, but until then, this remains newsworthy.
