Colts, WR Alec Pierce Reportedly Have No Contract Talks Ahead 2026 Free Agency

Alec Pierce, the Indianapolis Colts wide receiver, had a breakout 2024 season leading the NFL with 22.3 yards per reception and finishing as the Colts' top receiver in yards and touchdowns. Despite his big-play ability, there are currently no contract extension talks between Pierce and the Colts, with uncertainty about his long-term future in Indianapolis. The Colts have invested heavily in other receivers like Michael Pittman Jr. and recent draft picks, which complicates Pierce's potential role and contract negotiations. Pierce himself is taking a day-to-day approach to his expiring contract, focusing on improving his play rather than negotiating a deal. Analysts suggest the Colts are adopting a wait-and-see strategy, potentially waiting to assess Pierce's 2025 performance before making an extension decision, or considering other emerging talent such as Adonai Mitchell. Regardless of team decisions, Pierce's deep-threat skills and production position him for a lucrative contract either with the Colts or as a free agent in 2026.
