Michael Pittman Jr.’s Future with the Colts Hangs in the Balance—What’s Next Could Change Everything
That’s why a trade is unlikely. The teams that would want Pittman won’t want him at $22–24 million. The Colts would have to pay down the contract to make it realistic. And if the Colts have to eat significant money just to get back a mid-round pick, they’re better off taking the clean exit: cutting him, saving the $24 million, and moving forward with full flexibility.

Extending
If cutting Pittman is the cleanest option, extending him is the most practical one.
