The Pittsburgh Steelers made their first big splash of the offseason, trading for wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr.
After the Indianapolis Colts re-signed Alec Pierce on a huge, four-year, $116 million deal, the team wanted to shed salary by trading Pittman. They found a taker in the Steelers, who needed a second wide receiver to pair with DK Metcalf.
While this is a trade, Indianapolis isn't getting much back in return, as the Colts' main focus was for creating cap space. Pittman gives Pittsburgh a reliable option that will improve the offense next year.
Here's a look at the details.
