"Pierce is expected to land a contract that pays him at least $27 million per year, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported Sunday. The Colts are also making a push to re-sign Pierce ahead of the start of Monday's legal tampering period, with negotiations "expected to go down to the wire," Fowler added in his report."
"Pierce, who'll turn 26 in May, has been one of the NFL's most explosive receivers over the last couple of years. He's led the NFL in yards per reception in each of the last two seasons, helping him cross the 1,000-yard mark in 2025. He had 47 receptions for 1,003 yards and six touchdowns this past season."
"A day later, Pierce indicated that he would like to test the open market. He told the "Up & Adams" show that he felt he "kind of earned the right to explore free agency, see what's out there and just make a decision that's best for (his) career and (his) family.""
Alec Pierce, the top free agent wide receiver this offseason, is projected to receive a three-year, $80 million contract with $55 million guaranteed. The 25-year-old has established himself as one of the NFL's most explosive receivers, leading the league in yards per reception for two consecutive seasons and surpassing 1,000 receiving yards in 2025 with 47 receptions, 1,003 yards, and six touchdowns. The Colts declined to use the franchise tag on Pierce, allowing him to explore free agency. Pierce expressed his desire to test the open market, stating he earned the right to evaluate opportunities. The Patriots would need substantial financial resources to compete for Pierce's services amid expected high-level bidding.
