Colts Eye Extension for Star WR Alec Pierce
4 Mar
Summary
- Pierce achieved 1,003 yards with just 47 receptions in 2025.
- Colts might extend Pierce before he hits free agency.
- Other teams like Patriots, Raiders, Titans are potential suitors.
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce is reportedly a candidate for a long-term contract extension. The Colts are considering extending Pierce before he becomes an unrestricted free agent next week. This comes after Pierce's breakout 2025 season, where he amassed 1,003 receiving yards on just 47 receptions.
The potential extension for Pierce occurs as the Colts also transitioned to tag quarterback Daniel Jones. The team's salary cap situation, with approximately $33 million available, may require roster moves, such as potentially releasing players like Michael Pittman Jr., to accommodate Pierce's new deal.
Should Pierce not reach an agreement with the Colts, several other NFL teams could pursue him. The New England Patriots are considered frontrunners, particularly given their draft pick Drake Maye's deep-passing tendencies. The Las Vegas Raiders and Tennessee Titans are also seeking offensive playmakers.
In the NFC, the Washington Commanders are mentioned as a possible destination for Pierce. Additionally, the San Francisco 49ers might see Pierce as a long-term solution, valuing his deep-threat capabilities and efficiency, which averaged a league-high 21.3 yards per reception in 2025.
