Steelers acquire Michael Pittman Jr. in notable offseason trade
Summary

On June 7, 2026, the Pittsburgh Steelers made headlines by acquiring wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. from the Indianapolis Colts. The Steelers sent a sixth-round pick and a seventh-round pick to the Colts for Pittman, who is expected to enhance their passing game alongside DK Metcalf. Pittman, coming off a season with a career-high seven touchdowns and two previous 1,000-yard seasons, gives the Steelers a crucial receiving threat. This move is particularly significant as it coincides with what is likely Aaron Rodgers' final season in the NFL. CBS Sports highlighted this trade as one of the offseason's favorites, recognizing its potential impact on Pittsburgh's offense.
