The Indianapolis Colts have several key financial decisions to make in 2026. One, of course, is whether to re-sign quarterback Daniel Jones. Another is how much the team wants to spend to possibly bring back wide receiver Alec Pierce. Part of the issue is that wide receiver Michael Pittman's deal causes issues.
The blame for the situation shouldn't lie with Pittman, of course. A player is simply trying to get paid as much as they can for a career that will tend to be short. The wealth gained can be generational and well beyond the rest of the player's life.
