Colts Lock in Pierce, Sign Jones for Dynamic Offense

0:00On March 27, the Indianapolis Colts made two standout moves early in the 2026 off-season. They locked in wide receiver Alec Pierce to a four-year deal worth $116 million just minutes into free agency. They also signed quarterback Daniel Jones with a cap-friendly structure that freed up space elsewhere. Both contracts feature low cap hits this year, with Pierce's coming in at around $9 million ranking 28th among receivers. Beguide. This smart maneuvering gives the Colts flexibility to build around their core without breaking the bank right away. Fans and analysts love how this elevates Pierce to a bigger role, especially after trading Michael Pittman Jr. to clear the deck. It opens up more targets for Pierce across the field, not just deep shots where he already shines. Pierce posted elite yards per route run beyond 10 yards last season, despite low volume inside. At just 26 years old next season, he's improving yearly, and Metric suggests he can handle being the top option.
