The Indianapolis Colts want to bring back Alec Pierce.

It may not be that easy with the free agent WR, though. A lot of teams are in play. The latest rumor includes the New England Patriots, Las Vegas Raiders, Washington Commanders and Tennessee Titans.
ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported about this in a new article on Sunday.
"Expect negotiations between Alec Pierce and the Colts to go down to the wire as the team tries to keep him off Monday's open market," Fowler writes. "That's going to be a challenge. Pierce appears poised to make at least $27 million per year on a new deal. The Patriots, Commanders, Raiders and Titans are among teams in the mix."

Indy has a chance, too.
"What helps Indy's case is that Pierce is close with Colts quarterback Daniel Jones and, if everything is equal, would like to stay in Indianapolis," Fowler writes. "There's still hope for Indy, but Pierce's market will dictate his direction. His upside and penchant for chunk yardage are attractive to teams."
Pierce is a fascinating guy to be the top WR available on the market.
He's averaged more than 21 yards per catch over the past two seasons, leading the NFL in that stat in both years.
That resulted in 37 catches for 824 yards in 2024 and 47 catches for 1,003 yards in 2025.
Usually, top WRs are more consistent pass-catchers. Pierce, though, is the epitome of a big-play guy.
What's that worth? We're about to find out.
