March 9 is the officially unofficial start of NFL free agency in 2026. March 11 is the beginning of the new league year, and players can make their anticipated signings, well...official. Will that include Daniel Jones and Alec Pierce with the Indianapolis Colts? We can't be so sure yet.
Or can we? Indy has options for one, but not both. General manager Chris Ballard might choose to do neither. That all relates to the franchise tag, of course. To force each player to stay with the team, Ballard could slap the tag on Pierce or Jones and end any drama of them going anywhere else.
