The Indianapolis Colts agreed to a four-year, $114 million contract with wide receiver Alec Pierce, he confirmed Monday on social media.
Pierce is to receive $84 million in guarantees, including $60 million fully guaranteed at signing. The Colts confirmed the signing Monday, but did not disclose the terms of the pact.
Under the reported terms of his new deal, Pierce will become the highest-paid free agent wide receiver in NFL history.

The four-year veteran, who was set to hit free agency this week, totaled 157 catches for 2,934 yards and 17 scores over the first 64 appearances of his NFL career.
