## Resource

The Colts just handed Alec Pierce a $114M contract—making him the undisputed WR1— but with Michael Pittman Jr. gone and Pierce potentially not 100% healthy, the depth behind him looks dangerously thin. Josh Downs is the only other proven option, leaving unproven backups like Dulin, Westbrook-Ikhine, Burks, and Gould to fill the void. Can any of them step up? Maybe—but the odds are slim. With time to shop in free agency or trade, the Colts face a make-or-break decision: bolster the WR room or risk falling short.
