Colts Lock Down Pierce, Titans Eye Robinson

0:00On February 26th, workouts for position players kicked off at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis and the buzz is all about potential moves for receivers and quarterbacks. Wide receiver Alec Pierce, from the Indianapolis Colts, is drawing the most attention with teams watching closely as his current squad seems determined. To hold on to him, rather than let him test free agency. The Colts also plan to lock in quarterback Daniel Jones with a new deal before free agency starts. Then likely use the franchise tag on Pierce at. Around $28 million for this season. Sources say the team regrets not extending him a year ago when it would have cost half as much, but now they're pushing hard for a long term. Commitment. That move would shake up the market for other wide outs, letting second tier guys like Wandel Robinson bump up their asking prices. Robinson, who played under new Titans offensive coordinator Brian Dable in the past, has caught the eye of Tennessee and the Cleveland Browns are. Kicking the tires too after some positive talks.

Plan to keep Baygent for another year under Coach Ben Johnson. He has two seasons left on his deal and even aim. To bring back veteran Case Kingdom as a mentor. As Combine week rolls on, expect more chatter on these roster battles with teams weighing tags, trades, and extensions to build for next season.
