"When both sides are driven to get it done, it usually works out in the right way. We're driven, they're driven. It's been very positive. It's not what we want to do, it's a tool we have."
"Pierce set career-highs in catches (47) and yards (1,003) while leading the NFL in yards per catch (21.3). Jones recorded a total QBR of 90.4 when targeting Pierce -- his best rating last season among receivers he targeted more than 10 times."
"It'll be huge for us, we get those two guys back. Alec had a hell of a year and Daniel Jones was playing winning football for us until his injury happened. To get that continuity back, with especially those two guys, for offense would be beneficial and huge for us."
Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard expressed optimism about signing receiver Alec Pierce and quarterback Daniel Jones before free agency begins on March 11. Both players had breakout seasons together, with Pierce recording career-highs in catches (47) and yards (1,003) while leading the NFL in yards per catch (21.3). Jones posted a 90.4 QBR when targeting Pierce, his best rating among frequently targeted receivers. The pair contributed significantly to the Colts' 8-2 start. If negotiations fail, franchise tags remain an option, though projected costs of $47.3 million for quarterbacks and $28.8 million for receivers make that approach prohibitive. Ballard emphasized both sides are driven to complete agreements.
