If the money is equal, Pierce would be crazy to stay here and play with the revolving door at quarterback when he could go play with Drake Maye.

Maybe, but that assumes the Cheats end up not getting and AJ Brown and/or would still be interested in paying Pierce. Also, we might not have to really outbid them depending on how Pierce looks at his finances. MA income tax is 9.5% vs. 3% for Indiana and the cost of living in Bahston is obviously significantly more than Indy.

With that being said I wouldn't be surprised to see the Bears make a run and possibly sign Pierce since they're moved DJ Moore.
