New York Giants eye Kyle Pitts as potential mid-season trade target

The New York Giants are considering a trade for Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts ahead of the NFL trade deadline in November. ESPN reports Pitts, who is on a $15.045 million franchise tag for 2026, could be available if he does not receive a contract extension by July 15. Atlanta's recent focus on securing contracts for key players, like wide receiver Drake London, complicates Pitts' situation. The Giants, who have also added Isaiah Likely to their tight end room, may use players like Darius Slayton or Jalin Hyatt as trade bait to facilitate acquiring Pitts.
