Michael Pittman Jr. would serve as a great option for the receiver-needy New England Patriots should he reach the open market this offseason. But it doesn’t seem Pittman will get the opportunity to dip his toe into free agency.
The Indianapolis Colts won’t let the 2020 second-round receiver get that far.
Colts general manager Chris Ballard told reporters Wednesday that Pittman will remain with the Colts in 2024. Pittman concluded his rookie contract in Indianapolis, but can be retained by the franchise tag or by re-signing a long-term deal.
“We’ll work hard to get a deal done,” Ballard told reporters at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis, per NFL.
