Baltimore Ravens consider trade for tight end Kyle Pitts

The Baltimore Ravens, now under first-year head coach Todd Monken, may target tight end Kyle Pitts for a trade ahead of the upcoming NFL season. Following the departure of Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kolar to other teams, the Ravens signed veteran Durham Smythe and drafted two tight ends but still lack proven depth at the position. Pitts is coming off a strong season and is entering a contract year playing on the franchise tag, adding urgency to his situation. The Atlanta Falcons, who have a new coaching staff, might be hesitant to trade Pitts unless they receive a compelling offer before the season begins.
