"According to sources with knowledge of the team's thinking, Washington would have pursued Indianapolis wideout Alec Pierce had he not opted to stay with Indianapolis before the legal negotiating period began. One source with knowledge of the situation said Pierce "absolutely" would have signed with the Commanders if free."
"The 2022 second-round pick out of Cincinnati signed a four-year, $114 million contract. Pierce received a $26 million signing bonus, $84 million in guaranteed money, and an average annual salary of $28.5 million."
Adam Peters aggressively sought improvements during free agency, particularly at wide receiver. The Washington Commanders aimed to acquire Alec Pierce, who ultimately chose to remain with the Indianapolis Colts. Reports indicate that Pierce would have signed with the Commanders had he been allowed to explore the market. The Commanders continue to seek a strong receiving option to complement Terry McLaurin, especially as McLaurin's future becomes uncertain. Pierce's new contract with the Colts includes significant financial commitments, highlighting his value to the team.
