What are the latest NFL free agency signings?
Big money. The bells are ringing. Oh, boy. It's a Christmas time of year for NFL teams. What is Santa delivering today? Limits, what do you got? Ring my bell. You like that song, Bob? Ring my bell. Not necessarily the way you did it, but yes, I like it. Who sings that song, Bob? Wrong. Rick James. Is it? Is it really? No, it is. Anita Ward sings it. Oh, Anita Ward. No relation to Hines, but this is about wide receivers. What happened? The top wide receiver on the market is staying put. Alec Pierce and the Indianapolis Colts have agreed to a four-year deal worth $116 million. Holy ostrich milk. So what is that per year? It's short of 30. So in 28, 29, something like that. Yeah, 116 over four years comes to 29 million.
How much guaranteed limits does it say? That I have not seen yet. So they did not give him the franchise tag, but that doesn't mean they weren't interested. And I thought because they didn't, he'd be left to go wherever he wants to go and Man, that's a lot of money. I mean, he's one of the best deep threats around, Bob, but the past two years combined, he has 84 catches. Not that I wouldn't have wanted him, but doesn't that number stand out to you? He's basic. Is he a one-trick pony? Well, if that's his trick, he does it very well. I mean, they obviously respected it.
Who is Alec Pierce and what is his new contract with the Colts?
And if you look at the videos about his catches, they're all really good catches. He goes up in coverage, tight coverage, double team coverage sometimes and makes plays. Yeah, I agree. Really good wide receiver. I agree. He is. It's just the scarcity of catches is notable, but he makes the most of six touchdowns, 1,000 yards, 1,000 yards on 47 catches. How many guys have ever had 1,000 yards on less than 50 catches, Bob? Wrong. Seven. No, actually, I don't know. No, it's not many. There can't have been that many limits. Can you look that up? No, there cannot be many. Also, our guy Fake John and Robinson points this out on Twitter. With them giving this contract to Pittman, or with them giving this contract to Pierce, that might mean that Michael Pittman is on the trade market, Bob.
Don't you think? With Daniel Jones' money, Jonathan Taylor's getting paid. They just paid Pierce. Is Pippen going to get traded? They're putting a lot of their money into offense, that's for sure, and they may want to get out from under some of that. That could be. Bob, I have an answer to my question. Players with fewer than 50 catches and 1,000 receiving yards in the past 35 years. Alec Pierce in 2025. If you give me one of the two others, and I'll give you each one guess, Donnie gets a steak dinner. So do you, Limits. I'm going to say, so, Bob, it has to be a receiver with minimal catches but big plays. Yeah. I'm going to say Lin Swan. No, in the last 35 years. Last 35 years. Well, I mean, he only played nine years and all his catches were down the field.
I don't know what his. Josh Cribs. Wrong. Was that a good guess? Not really. Bob? I'm going to say last 30 years, 35 years. Yeah. Wrong. Just wait a minute. Devin Hester? No. Is Detroit an answer that I'm looking for? I'm trying to think of my receiver. But a good guess, or at least a good line of thinking, sort of. I don't know. That's okay, Bob. Most people wouldn't, including me, until I just saw it. Mike Williams in 2019, 49 catches, 1,001 yards. Wow. And Deshaun Jackson. Yeah, Deshaun Jackson was one of those guys. That's a good call there. 47 for well over 1,000 yards. He was the trick that you wanted on your pony. Lynn Swan. Lynn had big numbers like that, though, didn't he? Yeah, I'm about to look that up. How many years did Lynn Swan crack 1,000 yards receiving limits?
Wrong. One. Wrong. Why did my mic just go out, Bob? I don't know. Lin Swan never had 1,000 yards receiving. Isn't that interesting? His career high was 880. So would you have paid this kind of money for Alec Pierce? Well, they have money to spend, and I think you're already tied up a lot of money in Metcalf, so I was looking at something less than that, which is why Dobbs is more of an attractive buy, I think, based on where their money is going to be allocated.
