The Pittsburgh Steelers seemed to land wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. for a very cheap price on the trade market Monday. But the exact trade compensation for the wideout didn’t come out until late in the day.
Steelers insider Mark Kaboly reported late Monday the team agreed to send one of their sixth-round picks to the Colts for Pittman and an Indianapolis seventh-round choice.
Early Tuesday, NFL insider Albert Breer confirmed that compensation with his own report. Kaboly called the move from the Colts perspective “a salary dump.”
Technically, there’s still more details to come on the trade. Neither insider reported whether the draft picks exchanged will be in 2026 or 2027.
Furthermore, the Steelers have two sixth-round picks. It’s not clear which one is headed to Indianapolis.
But from the general fan’s perspective, it doesn’t really matter. Pittman is coming to Pittsburgh for a very cheap trade price.
