Alec Pierce Returns to Colts on $160M Deal

0:00On March 9th, the Indianapolis Colt have resigned wide receiver Alec Pierce to a 4-year deal that could be worth up to 116 million dollars. This agreement came right after the NFL's negotiating window opened league-wide. On the Pat McAfee show, Pierce explained the process. His agents expected a franchise tag, but it went elsewhere, making him the top free agent receiver on the market. Offers poured in, yet he stayed loyal. Pierce shared his love for Indianapolis and faith in the team's potential. He pointed to their strong start last season, and believes they can return to that form with their quarterback locked in long-term. By skipping the tag, Colt's general manager Chris Ballard risk losing Pierce amid heavy competition, but now that's behind them, as he's back for the long haul. Pierce just wrapped his first 1000 yard season and has topped the NFL in yards per catch for two straight years. His return adds versatility beyond deep threats, setting up the Colt for a brighter run.
