Steelers-Colts trade proposal sends explosive talent to Pittsburgh imageEric Hartline-Imagn Images
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce has just completed the finest season of his career.
The previous second-round selection topped the NFL in yards per catch (22.7) while achieving personal bests in receiving yards (824) and touchdowns (seven).
The Colts probably aren’t thinking about letting go of the skilled deep threat, but Alex Koroza from Steelers Depot mentioned Pierce as a possible trade target for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
“Pierce possesses the size and playmaking skills as an external option the Steelers are seeking to replace Pickens.” Pierce may not achieve victory in the same manner, yet he has a comparable effect.
“If the Colts are fond of their other young receivers, particularly if players like Downs and especially Mitchell progress, Pierce might become unnecessary,” Koroza stated.
“In the final year of his rookie contract, his value should remain low, and Pittsburgh might receive a 2027 compensatory pick even if Pierce departs in free agency following the season.”
It would be unexpected to witness the Colts let go of Pierce, particularly given that the Steelers are a strong rival for a wild-card position.
If the Colts aim to break their four-year playoff absence, they’ll need every weapon available on offense.
Moreover, the relationship with Anthony Richardson is something the Colts ought to embrace instead of avoiding.
Anything is possible in the NFL, but it would require a significant payment from Pittsburgh for the Colts to let go of Pierce.
