Jones & Pierce: Colts' Key Duo Set to Stay

0:00On March 11, fans in Indianapolis are on the edge of their seats waiting for news on quarterback Daniel Jones and his contract talks with the Colts. Why do receiver Alec Pierce just inked a huge $114 million deal to stay with the team and one big reason was getting to keep? Throwing passes with Jones, Pierce made it clear he wants to build on their connection and reports say the two sides have moved close to a two-year extension for Jones that could wrap up any day now. Colts fans and players like Pierce are glued to every update knowing this could lock in a key duo for the offense after a season full of ups and downs. Last year the team blasted out to an 8-2 start with Jones leading the charge but is Achilles injury in week 14 derailed everything. They slipped to 8-9 and missed the playoffs without him even as Pierce racked up over 1,000 receiving yards and six scores. With Pierce locked in and Jones likely staying put the Colts have a real shot at turning things around and chasing that playoff spot next time.
