Pittsburgh traded for Michael Pittman Jr. and is awaiting Aaron Rodgers’ decision to return in 2026, hoping to pair Pittman with DK Metcalf in a more pass-oriented offense. Pittman says he’s giving Rodgers space and is ready to play for whoever lines up under center, with Mason Rudolph and Will Howard in reserve if Rodgers delays his return.
Indianapolis Colts and wide receiver Michael Pittman have reached a three-year contract agreement, securing Pittman in Indianapolis after a career-high season. The deal allows Pittman to hit free agency again while still in his 20s, and the Colts are hopeful that he will continue to be a key part of their offense for years to come.
With Tee Higgins reportedly off the board, Michael Pittman is poised to be a top wide receiver in the upcoming NFL free agency. Despite not having a Pro Bowl-level quarterback, Pittman has had impressive seasons with the Colts. If he becomes a free agent, he could command a projected market value of nearly $91 million. Potential landing spots for Pittman include the Chiefs, Buccaneers, Bears, Panthers, and Steelers, where he could bolster their receiving corps and provide valuable support to their respective quarterbacks.
Tom Brady commented on Instagram, suggesting that Colts quarterback Gardner Minshew should take some blame for the helmet-to-helmet hit that led to Steelers safety Damontae Kazee's suspension. Brady argued that quarterbacks should not throw the ball in areas that expose their teammates to such hits and that coaches need to coach better. J.J. Watt agreed with Brady's comment, while the NFL VP of football operations faulted Kazee for the hit in a letter.
Pittsburgh Steelers defensive back Damontae Kazee was ejected from the game against the Indianapolis Colts after delivering a vicious hit to wide receiver Michael Pittman, who has been ruled out with a concussion.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman believes that rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson, selected with the No. 4 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, has the potential to be a Hall of Famer. Pittman praised Richardson's athleticism and described him as a "freak" on the field. While Richardson's passing skills need improvement, many believe he has the highest ceiling among quarterbacks in his draft class.
Fantasy football experts are advising against drafting Deshaun Watson, Javonte Williams, Michael Pittman, and Dallas Goedert in early drafts for the 2023 season. Watson's recent legal troubles and lackluster performance in 2022 make him a risky pick, while Williams' injury and the Broncos' offensive struggles could limit his production. Pittman's talent is still there, but the addition of Anthony Richardson and potential lack of passing volume could cap his upside. Goedert's target upside may also be limited due to the Eagles' run-heavy offense and competition for targets.
