## Resource

The Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs, a third-round draft pick, has been a standout performer, amassing impressive stats. With a potential big season ahead, hes in a similar position to Alec Pierce, who recently signed a massive deal. The Colts must decide whether to extend Downs contract, potentially for around $65.5 million over four years, to avoid repeating the costly mistake they made with Pierce.
