"Wide receiver Pierce was set to test unrestricted free agency but, as the NFL's negotiating period opened on Monday, the Colts made a huge move to retain their top pass-catcher. According to multiple reports, Pierce's deal features $84m in guarantees, $60m fully guaranteed at signing, and a max package of $116m. In addition, the contract makes the highest-paid free agent wide receiver in NFL history."
"Pierce racked up 1,003 yards receiving and six touchdowns in 2025, leading the NFL in yards per reception (21.3) for the second season running. His big-play ability was key in the Colts getting off to an 8-2 start. However, they subsequently lost their final seven games to slump to 8-9, an Achilles injury to quarterback Daniel Jones dooming their playoff hopes."
"The New England Patriots, Las Vegas Raiders, Los Angeles Chargers and San Francisco 49ers were all said to be interested in Pierce. But he has instead elected to remain in Indianapolis and try to build on the most productive season of his career."
Alec Pierce agreed to remain with the Indianapolis Colts on a four-year, $114 million contract featuring $84 million in guarantees and $60 million fully guaranteed at signing. Pierce led the NFL in yards per reception at 21.3 for the second consecutive season, recording 1,003 receiving yards and six touchdowns in 2025. Multiple teams including the Patriots, Raiders, Chargers, and 49ers expressed interest in signing him during free agency. Pierce's decision to stay in Indianapolis comes after the Colts started 8-2 but finished 8-9 following quarterback Daniel Jones's Achilles injury. The Colts placed the transition tag on Jones while negotiating a long-term deal.
