Overview
- After the Week 18 loss, Michael Pittman Jr. delivered unprompted remarks saying his future in Indianapolis is uncertain.
- Pittman is under contract for 2026 with a projected $29 million cap charge, making him a realistic cut candidate.
- Head coach Shane Steichen said his status is "not for me to decide" and remains signed through the 2028 season.
- Indianapolis started 7-1 but went 1-8 over the last nine games and ended on a seven-game skid after Daniel Jones’ Week 14 season-ending injury.
- Pittman’s yardage declined in 2025 even as he set a career high with seven touchdown catches, while Alec Pierce emerged as the team’s top receiver.
