Colts reportedly agree to three-year deal with franchise-tagged WR Michael Pittman

The Colts are keeping Michael Pittman in Indianapolis, reportedly coming to terms on a three-year, $70 million deal.

MARCH 11

Inking three-year extension Pittman has agreed to a three-year deal to remain with the Colts, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact The team had previously placed its franchise tag on Pittman, but evidently since then the two sides have been working toward a long-term deal. Per Rapoport, the wideout's looming new contract can reach up to $71.5 million and includes $46 million guaranteed. The 26 year-old is coming off a 2023 regular season in which he posted a career-high 109/1,152/4 receiving line on 156 targets in 16 games. With Pittman staying in the fold in 2024 and beyond, the Colts have secured valuable stability at the wide receiver position, a context that will no doubt benefit the development of young franchise QB Anthony Richardson (shoulder).

FEBRUARY 29

Not going anywhere, per Colts General manager Chris Ballard said Wednesday at the NFL Scouting Combine that Pittman will be on Indianapolis' roster Week 1 of the 2024 season, whether via contract extension or t...

Impact Pittman is approaching free agency for the first time in his NFL career, but it sounds like the Colts don't plan to allow him a true chance to explore the open market. Indianapolis has until March 5's deadline to decide whether to place the franchise tag on Pittman, which would provide him with a one-year $21.8 million salary for 2024, but it sounds like the team would prefer a long-term extension. The Colts haven't actually used the franchise tag since 2013, and Pittman himself has said he'd prefer a multi-year contract, per Stephen Holder of ESPN. "I do not want to play out a tag," Pittman said, "but you can use that to work towards a long-term deal as well."
