The Indianapolis Colts threw in the towel on the season by moving some of their best players for draft picks ahead of the trade deadline. Quarterback Daniel Jones doesn't like it.

Indianapolis (2-7) is one of the worst teams in the NFL this season and currently is in line to get the fifth overall pick in the upcoming draft.

Ahead of the deadline, offensive players Quenton Nelson (Seattle Seahawks), Josh Downs (Kansas City Chiefs) and Keenan Allen (San Francisco 49ers) were all moved to new teams. Additionally, defensive lineman DeForest Buckner was also traded to the Niners.

With half the season remaining, Jones openly criticized his team's front office but recognized that there's little he could have done.

'Honestly, you're not happy to see it. You're a player, and you're going out there competing, and doing everything you can to win,' Jones told reporters. 

'So you're not happy to see a lot of those decisions, but like I said, that's outside of our control, and our job is to play and be prepared and play well. 

'So, like I said, we got a lot of trust in the guys coming into those spots, and we'll be ready to go.'

Jones hasn't exactly been the gold standard of quarterbacks this year, which marks his eighth in the league and second in Indianapolis.

He has the worst completion percentage among quarterbacks who have played in nine games this season (60.3 percent) and has the second-most interceptions thrown this year (10) behind Justin Herbert and Drake Maye.

Jones' six passing touchdowns are also joint-last among starters who have played in at least eight games - joining Herbert, Malik Willis and Cam Ward.

While Jones wasn't pleased with the trade market, it could have been a lot worse for the Colts if they moved running back Jonathan Taylor.

Taylor, one of the league's top rushers, was the subject of much trade speculation leading to the Tuesday deadline.

But Indianapolis had a price tag of a 'first-round pick or some package of picks that would be reasonably equivalent,' according to ESPN's Dan Graziano.

The Colts will look to get a win against one of the few teams with a worse record than them: the Miami Dolphins.
