SI.com’s Albert Breer reports the Steelers acquired WR Michael Pittman Jr. from the Colts with a seventh-round pick for a sixth-round pick.
The trade was announced on the first day of legal tampering on Monday, but terms weren’t revealed right away. Pittsburgh also handed Pittman a three-year, $59 million deal upon agreeing to the trade.
Pittman, 28, attended USC before the Colts traded up to select him in the 2020 NFL Draft. He just finished out a four-year, $8,612,849 rookie contract that included a $3,823,890 signing bonus.
Pittman re-signed with the Colts before the 2024 season on a three-year, $70 million extension and was set to carry a cap number of $29 million in 2026 when he was traded to Pittsburgh and signed a three-year, $59 million contract.
In 2025, Pittman appeared in all 17 games for the Colts and caught 80 passes for 784 yards (9.8 YPC) and seven touchdowns.
