Report: Colts trade Pittman to Steelers after re-signing Pierce
The Pittsburgh Steelers are acquiring wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. from the Indianapolis Colts, reports NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
Pittsburgh and Indianapolis will also swap late-round picks in the deal, reports ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The Steelers are giving Pittman a three-year, $59-million extension, a source told NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. Pittman, 28, was set to enter the final year of a three-year contract he signed with Indianapolis in 2024.
This deal lands the Steelers a running mate for top wideout DK Metcalf. It's unclear whose passes they'll catch in 2026, however, with Aaron Rodgers and Skylar Thompson currently free agents. Mason Rudolph and Will Howard are the only quarterbacks on Pittsburgh's roster.
Indianapolis rewarded wideout Alec Pierce with a four-year, $116-million deal earlier Monday. Josh Downs and Ashton Dulin currently fill out the Colts' receiving depth chart.
Pittman spent six seasons with the Colts. The USC product surpassed 1,000 yards twice during his tenure. He's recorded 485 catches for 5,254 yards and hauled in 25 touchdowns in his NFL career.
