Former New England Patriots wide receiver Chris Hogan voiced doubts this week about the team handing out a big contract to free agent Alec Pierce. The Indianapolis Colt had a strong season with 47 catches for a thousand three yards and six touchdowns, drawing 84 targets along the way. Pierce stands out as one of the top wide receivers hitting free agency, and the Patriots could eye him to bolster their group. Earlier this week on a media show, Hogan made it clear he's not sold on a deal around $30 million for Pierce. He pointed out the need for versatility in the Patriots' offense under coordinator Josh McDaniels beyond just deep routes. Hogan knows the system well as a two-time Super Bowl winner with New England. His take highlights the demands on receivers there, like beating press coverage, running slants and curls, and making tough grabs over the middle. Pierce shines as a pure deep threat, but questions linger if that's enough for top dollar.

1:03Hogan admits he might be off base, noting Pierce's role in Indianapolis may not show his full skills. Patriots fans and scouts will watch closely this off season, especially with potential receiver gaps. A workout could reveal more about what Pierce brings to the table.
