Alec Pierce Stays with Colts, Eyes Playoff Spot

0:00On March 12th, Alec Pierce is staying put with Indianapolis Colts at the signing of 4-year deal worth $116 million. The 25-year-old wide receiver could have chased the bigger offers from teams like the San Francisco 49ers and New England Patriots. But he committed to Indy this offseason. Pierce checked out free agency options before deciding it was an easy call to return, especially with key pieces like his quarterback sticking around. Following him was a top priority for the Colts front office amid their roster rebuild. Jets cornerback sauce gardener stirred up some fun on social media, joking about locking Pierce in his basement to force the signature. Pierce played along with a quick witted reply about enjoying the golf simulator down there, but everyone knows it was all in good fun with no real. Drama. Last season, the Colts started strong but faded late, missing the playoffs for the fifth year in a row. Still, Pierce stayed late to Indy despite the trade buzz and voiced strong belief in the group's potential.

1:00His optimism runs high, pointing to their early promise as proof they could contend for the top spot in the league next time around.
