The #Colts are now $105,711 over the salary cap after retaining K Blake Grupe, per Over the Cap.

Two reminders:

1. The Colts have to be under the salary cap by Wednesday.
2. The Colts-Packers trade involving Zaire Franklin and Colby Wooden can’t be official until then, either.

Talks between Pierce and Colts are supposedly going down to the wire. My bet is he hits the open market but if he doesn't what would the highest you would think reasonable to bring him here? Would anyone go over 30 million a year?

As much as I want him to be a Colt, no I would not pay him 30 mil.

I believe the ceiling is $27M

Think about this and decide if he is worth 27million per season. He will definitely have to have 120=150 targets per season to justify it IMO

Alec Pierce (Indianapolis Colts) had a strong 2025 season, finishing with 1,003 receiving yards over 15 games played, which averages to 66.9 yards per game (YPG). This marks his first 1,000-yard campaign and ranks him tied for around 19th in total yards among receivers.For comparison, here are the top 10 wide receivers in receiving yards per game for the 2025 regular season (based on available leader data from sources like ESPN, NFL.com, and StatMuse; note that YPG accounts for games played, and totals reflect full-season performance through the end of the regular season):Puka Nacua (LAR) - 107.2 YPG (1,715 yards in 16 games)
Jaxon Smith-Njigba (SEA) - 105.5 YPG (1,793 yards in 17 games)
Ja'Marr Chase (CIN) - 88.3 YPG (1,412 yards in 16 games)
George Pickens (DAL) - 84.1 YPG (1,429 yards in 17 games)
Amon-Ra St. Brown (DET) - 82.4 YPG (1,401 yards in 17 games)
(Additional top performers in the ~70-75 YPG range include names like Jameson Williams or others around 74.5 YPG, but the elite tier clusters above 80+.)

Pierce's 66.9 YPG places him well below the top 10 elite producers, who generally exceed 80-100+ YPG due to higher volume (more receptions/targets) or explosive consistency. Pierce stands out differently: he led the NFL in yards per reception (21.3 AVG), emphasizing his deep-threat role with big-play ability (e.g., a 66-yard long) rather than sheer volume. His efficiency on limited targets (47 catches on 84 targets) contrasts with the top YPG leaders, who often see 150+ targets and higher reception counts.Overall, Pierce performed solidly as a complementary deep option for the Colts but doesn't crack the top tier in per-game production compared to the league's volume-dominant or consistently explosive wideouts.

Teams now believe Alec Pierce will agree to a contract between $28-30 million annually today, per
@AlbertBreer
(https://si.com/nfl/albert-breer-free...-wow-contracts).

If Pierce does not re-sign with the Colts, three teams are waiting to aggressively pursue: 49ers, Patriots, Raiders.

Indy lands its top target: Free-agent WR Alec Pierce is returning to the Colts with a four-year, $116 million deal, per @PatMcAfeeShow.


I guess Ballard isn't as inept as some may say.


I do think that means that MJP is gonna get moved, if not restructured
