49ers' Brock Purdy Reportedly Got Full No-Trade Clause in $265M Contract Extension

Indianapolis placed its franchise tag on him earlier this offseason, which would've paid him $21.8 million for the 2024 season.

The sides had until mid-July to negotiate a long-term contract extension, and they got the deal done with time to spare. Pittman was the first Colts player to receive the franchise tag since former punter Pat McAfee in 2013.

A second-round pick in the 2020 draft, Pittman didn't take long to establish himself as Indianapolis' top option on the outside despite having a different starting quarterback in all four years of his career. He led the team in receiving yards in each of the last three years.

This past season, Pittman put forth his best year with career highs of 109 catches and 1,152 yards while adding four touchdowns. His 28.2 percent target share ranked 11th in the NFL.

The Colts went 9-8 and barely fell short of the playoffs. Indianapolis is gearing up for the return of quarterback Anthony Richardson, who showed promise as a rookie before his first season was cut short due to shoulder surgery.

Giving Pittman a long-term extension provides the Colts with a franchise cornerstone and gives them a strong chance at building off the momentum of last season as they try to end a three-year playoff drought in 2024.
