Indianapolis Colts’ general manager Chris Ballard met with media members on Wednesday afternoon for his annual NFL Scouting Combine presser.
Ballard was asked specifically whether the team would consider using the franchise tag on wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. The Colts’ general manager didn’t rule out that possibility and offered some insight into where things stand with Pittman Jr. and the team.
“We’ve had talks with his agent,” Ballard said. “We’ll work hard to get a deal done. (The franchise tag) is a tool we have. I’m not going to say we’re not going to use it, but I’m not going to say we are.
