The Indianapolis Colts are in a crucial phase, particularly regarding Michael Pittman Jr.'s status. With promising young quarterback Anthony Richardson needing all the support possible, the Colts rely heavily on Pittman, who has consistently delivered. Despite speculation about a potential trade to the Carolina Panthers for additional talent, the Colts understand that losing Pittman could hinder Richardson's development. Pittman showcased exceptional resilience last season, despite battling injuries, and his performances demonstrate his value as a top receiver. With a relatively inexperienced supporting cast, the Colts are unlikely to let go of their most reliable offensive weapon.
