ESPN Floats Alec Pierce, Breece Hall, Travis Etienne as Chiefs’ Offseason Targets
With roughly negative $42.8 million projected in cap space, Kansas City is expected to prioritize realistic, mid‑priced upgrades.
Overview
- ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler identified Colts wideout Alec Pierce as a realistic signing to supply the classic boundary deep threat Kansas City has lacked since Tyreek Hill’s 2021 exit.
- Pierce’s 2025 line of 38 catches for 769 yards includes a league‑leading 20.2 yards per reception, underscoring his vertical role.
- Spotrac projects Pierce at about four years and $63.9 million, or roughly $16 million annually, a price that would require Chiefs cap maneuvers.
- Fowler also mentioned running backs Breece Hall and Travis Etienne as options, with Hall’s availability potentially limited by a Jets franchise tag.
- Etienne was framed as the more attainable back, with a Spotrac projection near $6.6 million per year over two years and Jacksonville facing tight cap space.
