Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports that the Indianapolis Colts are trading wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. to the Pittsburgh Steelers, in a trade that gives a huge boost to the wide receiver room in the Steel City.
Pittman is joining a group led by DK Metcalf, providing the Steelers a much-needed combo in the position. Roman Wilson and Ben Skorownek are the other wideouts under contract in Pittsburgh for 2026.
The Colts are losing a key weapon, but are also creating $24 million in cap space. They will count on Alec Pierce, who agreed to come back in a four-year deal. The other Colts WRs under contract for 2026 are Ashton Dulin, Josh Downs, and Anthony Gould.
Free agent WRs in Indianapolis and Pittsburgh
Pittman is reportedly signing a three-year, $59 million contract in Pittsburgh, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The Steelers, meanwhile, have three wideouts facing unrestricted free agency.
Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Scotty Miller, and Calvin Austin III are all free to sign elsewhere in the open market ahead of the 2026 NFL season. The same goes for Laquon Treadwell in the Colts’ case, as the wideout is out of contract in Indy.
