As it turns out, wide receiver Alec Pierce really did want to come back to the Indianapolis Colts. According to NFL insider Adam Schefter, Pierce has agreed to re-sign with Indy for four years and $116 million. That's a lot of money, but he would have made that in lots of places.
Now, Pierce has to be the true WR1 that Indianapolis needs. He supplanted Michael Pittman Jr. as the team's top option in 2025 with his ability to get deep, while also growing his route tree to include more crossing patterns.
How the team is going to afford him and Daniel Jones isn't known yet.
