Alex Pierce

Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

The Colts secured solid value with Alex Pierce's $28.5M AAV extension, landing what amounts to a fair deal for a receiver in today's inflated market. Pierce earns a B CVI, reflecting the balance between his above-average production and the premium price tag that comes with locking up a proven wideout through his prime years. At $28.5M annually, Indianapolis is paying franchise-caliber money for what has been consistently solid starter performance — not elite, but the kind of reliable target that can anchor an offense without breaking the salary cap. The $84M in guaranteed money provides Pierce with excellent security while giving the Colts flexibility in the deal's later years, a structure that mitigates risk if his production plateaus. This contract positions Indianapolis to compete now while avoiding the quarterback-breaking deals we've seen elsewhere, though they'll need Pierce to elevate his game slightly to justify the investment. The B CVI reflects a competent front office move that addresses a clear need without creating long-term financial headaches.

Fan Sentiment

The Colts retain Alec Pierce on a massive $116 million deal, a significant long-term commitment. Multiple headlines question whether Pierce can justify the hefty price tag for Indianapolis. The key concern is whether Pierce has proven he's worth top-tier wide receiver money. Fans are split, debating if Pierce is truly an elite receiver or an overpaid commodity. If Pierce doesn't emerge as a clear WR1, this contract could seriously hamper Indianapolis's roster flexibility.
