WR Michael Pittman, IND (2 Viewers)

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Does he have a realistic shot a playing this week? My contingency plans are…lacking.

I think he’s fine. Cleared concussion protocol, full practice, mystery shoulder injury at 4:00 on Friday?

Must win game. He’s gonna go bananas - play him.

My only option left is Gabe Davis, who’s had 0 catches in 2 weeks, or Rashad Bateman, whose ceiling seems to be about 8 points.

I hope you went with Gabe.

… I was busy with Christmas Eve dinner prep. Didn’t see this news at all. My pivot would have been Gabe.

Now it’s Demario Douglas

I wish I were single so I could jump out of bed, slug whiskey and slam a few cigarettes to make me feel “better”

Sure did. Went for ceiling.

Boom goes the dynamite.

Also sorry, that sucks.

Colts GM Chris Ballard has acknowledged the franchise tag is a possibility for impending free agent Michael Pittman.

“I don’t want to use it, but it’s a tool,” Ballard said. “If we have to use it, we will.” The Colts have a strange aversion to tagging players, last doing so in 2013 with ... then-punter Pat McAfee. It’s the second longest tag-less streak in the NFL, albeit one that is certain to be broken with Pittman absent a long-term agreement. For his part, Pittman sounded surprisingly open to the possibility last month. “With the franchise tag, I don’t think anyone would be displeased with $23 million,” Pittman said. “The franchise tag is almost like a tag of respect, to get paid in the top five at your position, but do I necessarily want to play on one? I wouldn’t say, necessarily, no, I do not want to play on the tag, but you can use that to work toward a long-term deal.” Pittman’s agent probably didn’t love that, but it’s clear Pittman will remain a Colt for 2024.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Yeah, I was expecting that.

Yes, Ballard has said the Colts will keep Pittman one way or another. Either by resigning him or franchising him. He is adamant about that.

NEW #ReceptionPerception profile on the site: Colts WR Michael Pittman.

The 2023 season was Pittman's third straight year:
- With a near 74% success rate vs. man coverage
- North of 80% success rate vs. zone
- North of 80% success rate vs. press

Pittman is such a reliable, well-rounded receiver who has become the foundation of the Colt's passing attack. One of the best short and intermediate receivers in the game.
