Colts Face Tough Competition for Pierce

0:00On March 9, the Indianapolis Colts are pushing hard to resign wide receiver Alec Pierce as free agency opens on Monday. According to reports, the New England Patriots, Las Vegas Raiders, and San Francisco 49ers are showing strong interest. Experts predict Pierce could land a contract worth $28 to $30 million per year. Earlier this week, sources highlighted the Patriots as a prime suitor. New England released Stefan Diggs and needs a dynamic playmaker for quarterback Drake May and Josh McDaniel's offense. Pierce would fill that gap right away. Meanwhile, the Raiders have nearly $112 million in cap space and want to upgrade their receiver room. They can make Pierce their top option, even if it's a bold spend. Over in San Francisco, the 49ers are planning ahead after potential cuts to Brandon Ayuk and if Juwan Jennings leaves. Pierce's speed would add a deep threat for Brock Purdy and Kyle Shanahan's scheme. The Colts faced tough competition, but resigning Pierce keeps their offense intact.
