The Indianapolis Colts have secured wide receiver Alec Pierce with a lucrative four-year, $116 million contract extension. Pierce is coming off a breakout season where he led the team with over 1,000 receiving yards.
Multiple media outlets reported Monday that the Indianapolis Colts have locked up wide receiver Alec Pierce with a massive four-year contract extension worth $116 million.
According to NFL Network, the lucrative deal features $84 million in guaranteed money, with $60 million fully secured upon signing.
Pierce, who will celebrate his 26th birthday in May, enjoyed a career-best campaign during his final rookie contract season in Indianapolis. The receiver topped the team’s stats with 1,003 receiving yards on 47 receptions, adding six touchdown catches while playing alongside quarterback Daniel Jones.
Indianapolis used their transition tag on Jones last week following his December Achilles injury. This move ensures Jones will play under a one-year, $37.8 million deal unless the organization and player negotiate a longer agreement or the Colts decline to match competing offers from other franchises.
Since Indianapolis selected him in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft from the University of Cincinnati, Pierce has accumulated 157 receptions for 2,934 yards and 17 touchdowns across 64 games, starting 55 contests during his four-year career.
