The Indianapolis Colts are trading wide receiver Michael Pittman to the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to a report from Josina Anderson. The transaction reportedly involves the two teams "flipping late round picks" to finalize the deal.
Pittman has been a focal point of the Colts' passing game since he was selected in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft. His move to the Steelers provides the Pittsburgh offense with a physical, veteran target on the perimeter. The specific draft slots involved in the pick swap have not yet been disclosed, but the move marks a significant shift for the Indianapolis receiving corps as they move forward without their leading wideout.
The Steelers' acquisition of Pittman adds a proven playmaker to their roster as they look to bolster their offensive depth. For the Colts, the trade suggests a new direction for their offensive strategy and opens up targets for their remaining wide receivers. Further details regarding the draft compensation and the timing of the picks are expected to be confirmed by the teams shortly.
