Assuming he is still in charge of the Indianapolis Colts, GM Chris Ballard faces a lot of big decisions this offseason. As usual, quarterback is the most the most important, and Daniel Jones’ late-season injury makes that a very complicated problem. Almost as important is what the Colts’ GM chooses to do about wide receiver Alec Pierce.
Pierce finishes his rookie contract this year and is scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent next March. If he hits the open market, there will be enormous interest. Because, as Alec Pierce proved yet again in the Colts’ Week 16 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, he is now Indy’s best wide receiver.
