INDIANAPOLIS -- The Colts on Tuesday placed their franchise tag on wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr., who set career highs with 109 receptions for 1,152 yards this past season.
The Colts and Pittman's representatives had been in negotiations on a long-term extension in recent days and were endeavoring to reach a deal before Tuesday's deadline for players to be tagged, but it came and went without a new contract.
"We love everything about him and we want him to be a Colt," coach Shane Steichen said Tuesday morning.
The franchise tag, worth $21.
