WR Pierce Eyes Josh Allen & Bills
5 Mar
Summary
- Alec Pierce led NFL in yards per reception (21.3) in 2025.
- Pierce expresses desire to play with Bills QB Josh Allen.
- Bills need pass-catching boost; Pierce could be costly.

Wide receiver Alec Pierce, a prominent free agent, has indicated a desire to catch passes from Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen. Pierce, who was not franchise-tagged by the Indianapolis Colts, will become a free agent on March 11. He described a potential connection with Allen as "special" and expressed admiration for his game.
In the 2025 NFL season, the 6-foot-3, 211-pound Pierce led the league in average yards per reception with 21.3. His receiving EPA was +50.7, ranking eighth in the NFL. He concluded the season with 47 receptions for 1,003 yards and six touchdowns.
The Bills struggled with deep threats at wide receiver during the 2025 season, impacting their big-play capabilities. Among their current receivers, only Brandin Cooks and Gabe Davis offered significant chunk yardage, and both are also set to become free agents.
Pursuing Pierce could be an expensive endeavor, with Spotrac estimating his average annual market value at $20.2 million. This figure might be prohibitive for the Bills, who are currently over the salary cap as the new league year approaches.
