Alec Pierce's Mega Deal: New Wave for WRs?

0:00On March 4th, Coltswire receiver Alec Pierce is hitting free agency next week, as the top option at his position. Several teams desperate for passcatchers are lining up to pursue him. Insiders predict he'll land a deal way bigger than most fans think. Experts compare Pierce to Christian Kirk from a few years back, the kind of player who shocks everyone with his payday, therefore casting at least $30 million a year if a bidding war breaks out. Persons and analysts are buzzing because Pierce has just 1,000 yard season in four years. That stacks up against Steelers receiver George Pickens, who's got two such campaigns and outpaced Pierce last season by 426 yards, and three touchdowns. Still, Pierce's market value could reset expectations across the league. Pickens' agent is surely paying close attention to whatever number Pierce inks. As teams gear up to chase talent this off-season, Pierce's move might spark a wave of big contracts for wideouts like Pickens.
