According to Stephen Holder, the Colts may utilize either the franchise tag or the transition tag on quarterback Daniel Jones or wide receiver Alec Pierce this offseason. Jones, who is set to become an unrestricted free agent after a one-year, $14 million deal, faces a projected franchise tag value of $47.3 million for 2026, a significant amount post-Achilles injury. Meanwhile, Pierce, in the final year of his rookie contract, could command a lucrative deal due to a lack of depth in the wide receiver free-agent market. More updates on Jones and Pierce are expected as the offseason progresses.
