Free agent wide receiver Alec Pierce has agreed to a new four-year deal worth $114 million with the Indianapolis Colts. This makes him the highest paid free agent receiver in NFL history, with $84 million in guarantees and $60 million fully guaranteed at signing. The deal came together quickly after the legal tampering window opened on Monday, at noon. The Colts announced the agreement on social media, confirming Pierce stays put in Indianapolis. His agents negotiated the massive contract overnight, and it could reach up to $116 million with incentives. The New England Patriots showed strong interest in Pierce as their potential number one receiver. They planned to release Stefan Diggs when the new league year begins, leaving a big gap at the position. But the Patriots, likely bulked at the price tag, given their other roster needs.

Tyree Keele is available too, though his health raises concerns. With Super Bowl hopes this season, New England cannot wait around like last off season.
