Pittman trade clears volume runway; Steichen signals Pierce will get intermediate routes.

The Colts traded away Michael Pittman Jr., who commanded at least 111 targets in all four of Pierce's active seasons and averaged 130 targets per year. The only veteran reinforcement added was Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, coming off a quiet 20-target season in Miami. Head coach Shane Steichen indicated at the combine that Pierce has made significant strides in intermediate routes, comebacks, one-on-ones, and in-breaking routes beyond his deep-threat role, hinting at expanded volume across all areas of the field.
