Should Indianapolis Colts GM Chris Ballard entertain trade offers for starting wide receiver Alec Pierce? That idea has gained traction in recent days, since Bleacher Report’s Alex Kay floated the concept a few days ago. Kay proposed a deal that would send the fourth-year wideout from Cincinnati to the Minnesota Vikings in exchange for a third-round draft pick.
Minnesota has some issues at receiver right now, and a young deep threat like Pierce would certainly be appealing. The Vikings are pursuing a reunion with veteran Adam Thielen, but those negotiations have hit snags. A trade involving Pierce might still make sense for Minnesota even if they were to complete a Thielen deal, but for now, this particular trade seems unlikely.
