Pettis is currently in the final year of his four-year, $6,440,562 contract that included a $2,734,952 signing bonus. He signed with the Gians’ practice squad in September and was promoted last month. 

In 2021, Pettis has appeared in three games and recorded 10 receptions for 87 yards (8.7 YPC) and one touchdown.
