Alec Pierce, IND: Pierce has a career 17.6 YPR through 3 seasons and had 22.3 last year. He has the combination of length (6'3", 33" arms), speed (4.41), and ball skills to be a deep threat. He's about to turn 25. The Colts might be willing to trade him because he's entering a contract year and they have other commitments at WR: Pittman is under contract, Downs is probably a guy they want to keep long-term, and they just spent pick #52 on Adonai Mitchell who needs to be in Pierce's role. If they would part with him, he would be an ideal addition. 2. Rashid Shaheed, NO: Shahid has a career 16.6 YPR through 3 seasons and had 17.5 last year. He came out of college at 5'10.5" 185 lbs and was not able to work out. He's had enough time in the league to demonstrate legit speed and playmaking ability. The downside with him is that he isn't very long so he functions as a vertical slot receiver and he's coming off a meniscal repair (injured in October; 4-6 mos recovery timeline). He's 26 years old. The Saints are extremely cap-strapped and there aren't many ways for them to create room, but Shahid is one of them-- they can save 3.7M by trading him and would only incur 750K in dead money. I like his fit less than Pierce, but he's also a more realistic target.</blockquote>
