Colts Lock Up WR Pierce with Record-Breaking Deal

0:00On March 9th, the Indianapolis Colts just locked up wide receiver Alec Pierce with a massive four-year deal worth $114 million. Pierce himself confirmed the news on social media Monday and the team quickly backed it up, though they kept the exact numbers under wraps. That contract packs a ton of security, with $84 million guaranteed, including $60 million fully guaranteed to write it signing. He makes Pierce the highest paid free agent wire receiver ever in the NFL, especially impressive since he was heading into free agency this week. At 25 years old, Pierce joined the Colts as a second-round pick back in the 2022 draft. He's turned heads with his deep-threat ability, leading the league in yards per catch over the last two seasons at 22.3 and 21.3. Last year alone, he posted career highs with 47 catches for 1,03 yards and six touchdowns across 15 games. Over his four-year career so far, he's racked up 157 receptions for 2,934 yards and 17.

1:05Scores and 64 appearances. This move shores up the Colts' passing game for years ahead, giving their offense a proven big-play threat locked in long-term.
