Kyle Pitts emerges as potential trade candidate for Falcons ahead of deadline

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts has been identified as a potential trade candidate ahead of the NFL trade deadline. His performance during the 2025 season marked a significant improvement since being drafted as a top-five pick. With a new coaching staff, the Falcons may evaluate Pitts' fit in their offensive scheme before committing to a long-term contract. The Baltimore Ravens are mentioned as a potential destination, especially after losing two tight ends in free agency. The Falcons must decide whether to extend Pitts by July 15 or risk his departure as a free agent, with other teams likely to inquire about his availability if a decision is delayed.
