Colts Lock in Pierce, Giants Eye Pittman Trade

0:00On March 9th, the Indianapolis Colts just locked in wide receiver Alec Pierce with a 4-year deal worth $116 million. This move has sparked talk of a potential trade for their other receiver, Michael Pittman Jr., possibly to the New York Giants. Earlier this offseason, folks thought signing Pierce like this might push the Colts to deal or release Pittman to manage their roster. Now that Pierce is staying put, those rumors are heating up again. Beatwriters are buzzing about it, with one noting the Giants should watch Pittman closely as a trade target. New York has shown interest before, but it all depended on what Indy did with Pierce. The Giants desperately need receiver help after losing death, especially with Wandel Robinson hitting free agency and drawing offers from teams like the Tennessee Titans. Pittman could slot in nicely as a number two option opposite Malik neighbors. He's got 2,000 yard seasons on his resume, and a big frame perfect for a young quarterback like Jackson Dart. Even with some recent dips, his contract runs just through next year, keeping things low risk for the Giants as they either next steps.
