Colts receiver Michael Pittman reportedly received a call from Carson Wentz about giving up wearing No. 11 so that the new quarterback can wear it. Well apparently Pittman was having none of it and told Wentz it’s not happening.
From the sounds of things, it wasn’t a heated exchange, but it’s still funny because Wentz isn’t in any position to start asking for number changes.
#Colts WR Michael Pittman told TMZ he won’t give up his #11 to Carson Wentz: “He saw how locked in I was to 11, and he was like, ‘That’s cool, bro, I’m probably gonna switch anyway.'”

Anything that could change that? “I’m 11. I don’t think there’s any deal that’s gonna be done.”
Wentz switching numbers might actually be the full change of scenery he needs, right? Anything the former No. 2 overall pick can do to forget his time in Philly would probably be for the best.
Welcome to Indy, Carson. Number 12 is open.
QBs should be allowed to get 0 or 20s numbers. I want to see a 22 like Jared Lorenzen.
Hopefully the conversation between Pittman and Wentz was more civil in person, not how it sounds in print.
I’m pretty sure guys who join new teams always ask about switching numbers. Not a thing wrong with asking.
Why is shi t like this even out. Did Pittman want to make this public?? Makes zero sense. Hopefully things work out for Wentz in Indy. I`m pulling g for him as a fan. May e he looks the other way few times this season when Pittman is a route option. Sorry bro bro… Didn’t see you open.
