Colts News: Chuck Pagano on Michael Pittman Jr. : 'Ballard, you better pay the man'

[Colt4Life]

Former Indianapolis Colts head coach Chuck Pagano is loudly banging the table for Michael Pittman Jr. to be paid. After watching the Jonathan Taylor tug-of-war with the Colts this offseason, many around the league wondered whether the next most likely man to be paid — Michael Pittman, Jr. — would also end up struggling to land a deal with the team. But Pittman has essentially put many of those questions (including whether or not he was a top receiver) to bed this season with some record-breaking performances. His stellar play has turned heads and gotten the attention of former Colts head coach Chuck Pagano. Pagno is advocating on his behalf and recently told a local Indy news station that Pittman “deserves a bag.” (Warning: NSFW language.) Former #Colts Coach Chuck Pagano said earlier this season that the team should wait to give Michael Pittman Jr. a contract extension. BUT now… "Ballard you better pay the man" More of the conversation: https://t.co/QcddRdTv58@WISH_TV #ForTheShoe pic.twitter.com/A0RpGKrvaX — Anthony Calhoun (@ACwishtv) December 10, 2023 Pittman is entering the final year of his rookie contract, but the Colts still have plenty of time to get a new contract done. The market for wideouts is an expensive one, but Pittman has continued to prove he’s the catalyst of the offense.
