Michael Pittman Jr.’s Future with the Colts Hangs in the Balance—What’s Next Could Change Everything

Michael Pittman Jr.’s Future with the Colts Hangs in the Balance—What’s Next Could Change Everything

Under that structure, Pittman’s cap hit drops from $29 million to roughly $15.66 million in 2026. In 2027 and 2028, his cap number would sit around $16.66 million annually, assuming modest base salaries (around $2 million) and manageable roster bonuses.

From the Colts’ perspective, that’s nearly $14 million in immediate cap relief while still maintaining control of the player for up to two additional seasons.

From Pittman’s perspective, it’s not a loss. He effectively turns his current situation into a three-year deal worth around $48–49 million. He secures $20 million in new money on top of what he was already set to earn in 2026, stays in the same system, and protects himself against being outright released.

And there’s still flexibility.
