Steelers Acquire WR Michael Pittman
The Pittsburgh Steelers acquired Michael Pittman from the Colts for a 2026 sixth-round pick [https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/47911726/2026-nfl-free-agency-grades-signings-trades-latest-best-worst-deals-draft-outlook]. Pittman will receive a three-year, $59 million contract.
Pittman's arrival gives the Steelers a much-needed upgrade at wide receiver, providing a reliable target for their quarterback. His size and route-running ability should complement the existing receiving corps. The Colts, on the other hand, gain a draft pick and shed salary, potentially freeing up resources to address other needs in the upcoming draft and free agency. This move signals a possible shift in their offensive strategy. The contract terms suggest the Steelers view Pittman as a key part of their long-term plans, investing significantly in his talent. This commitment reflects their belief in his ability to contribute immediately and develop further within their system.
