Alec Pierce Hitting Free Agency, Top Teams Show Interest

0:00On March 7, Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce is set to hit the open market as an unrestricted free agent, with reports saying he will. Draw strong interest starting Monday at New N Eastern. Pierce, a 25-year-old former second-round pick, just wrapped a breakout season with 47 catches for 1,03 receiving. Yards and six touchdowns over 15 games. That gave him a league-leading 21.3 yards per reception, marking the second straight year he topped the stats in that category. The Colts chose to use their transition tag on quarterback Daniel Jones instead, leaving Pierce free to sign anywhere without restrictions or compensation for Indy if he leaves. Teams like the Las Vegas Raiders, New England Patriots, and Tennessee Titans have shown early interest, putting pressure on Colts' general manager. Chris Ballard, to rethink passing on an extension for his top-deep threat.
