Overview
- ESPN’s Dan Graziano says he wouldn’t be surprised if Pitts is dealt during the 2025 season based on how Atlanta is deploying its personnel.
- Pitts is in his contract year on the fifth-year option with no extension reported, heightening trade flexibility for the team.
- Multiple teams have inquired about Pitts, and reporting indicates the Falcons would seek at least a Day 2 draft pick to engage in serious talks.
- Analysts point to signs the staff does not view him as a clean scheme fit despite off-season discussion of more two-tight end looks.
- The Falcons’ 53-man roster lists seven wideouts and Mooney avoided IR, while Pitts is slated to start alongside Charlie Woerner at tight end.
