Steelers, Broncos eye $94M WR Alec Pierce
17 Feb
Summary
- Alec Pierce may seek a four-year, $94 million contract.
- Pierce broke 1,000 receiving yards for the first time.
- Both Steelers and Broncos need receiver help.
The Pittsburgh Steelers and Denver Broncos are reportedly among the teams interested in acquiring Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce, who is projected to command a significant contract. Pierce is expected to seek a four-year deal worth approximately $94 million in free agency.
This past season marked a career milestone for Pierce, as he surpassed the 1,000-yard receiving mark for the first time. He also led the NFL in yards per catch, reinforcing his status as an elite big-play receiver.
Both the Steelers and Broncos are actively looking to improve their wide receiver corps. Pittsburgh has struggled with offensive consistency in recent years, while Denver seeks more experience and field-stretching ability beyond Courtland Sutton.
While the Colts are likely interested in retaining Pierce, his potential availability on the open market could make him a highly sought-after free agent. Pittsburgh holds an advantage in cap space, but Denver has fewer roster holes to address, potentially allowing them to pursue Pierce aggressively.
