From the episode

the biggest question mark in the room is what's going to happen with Michael Pittman when he comes back because it's a pretty similar role to what Jeremy Bernard's playing right now

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Pittman's return could compress Bernard's role; available at discount for contenders but risky for rebuilders.

Pittman remains sidelined but presents a role uncertainty concern for Jeremy Bernard upon return. The team extended Pittman and paid up for him, suggesting he will retain offensive importance, but his return timing and role definition remain unclear. For contenders, Pittman may be available at a discount (potentially late second-round pick value in 2027–2028) given his current absence from the field. Rebuilding teams should avoid investing in a 29-year-old wide receiver in this situation.
