Kyle Pitts trade rumors: Falcons tight end’s future uncertain amid offseason priorities, reveals NFL insider Marc Raimondi

Kyle Pitts entered the NFL with the hype of a generational talent, expected to transform the Atlanta Falcons’ offense. After a standout rookie season, the Atlanta Falcons star has shown flashes of brilliance, but questions linger about whether he can consistently deliver at an elite level. With the 2025 season coming to a close, Pitts’ future in Atlanta is far from certain, sparking trade rumors and speculation around the league.


The tight end’s situation has become one of the most talked-about storylines in the NFL offseason, leaving fans and analysts debating whether he will remain with the Falcons or explore opportunities elsewhere. Teams across the league are reportedly keeping a close eye on Pitts as he approaches free agency, making the upcoming offseason a pivotal moment in his career.

Atlanta Falcons’ offseason priorities could decide Kyle Pitts’ fate

According to ESPN NFL insider Marc Raimondi, the Falcons may not prioritize keeping Pitts despite his potential. “He has not fulfilled the potential many thought he had coming out of college, nor has he duplicated his 1,000-yard rookie season. But he has been solid in 2025, with the sixth-most receptions (47) and 10th-most receiving yards (434) among tight ends. Will that be enough to justify a franchise tag or extension? Probably not, as the team has many other needs,” Raimondi explained.


Pitts has indicated he will wait until the season ends to decide on his next steps, leaving the door open for multiple scenarios. If the Falcons let him walk, they would need a new starting tight end, though the market offers several cost-effective alternatives. On the other hand, Pitts’ size, speed, and early-career production make him an attractive target for teams looking to bolster their passing attack, potentially leading to a major contract elsewhere.


The situation with Kyle Pitts highlights a significant challenge for the Falcons: managing roster priorities while retaining top-tier talent. Atlanta’s decisions this offseason will have major implications for the team’s offensive strategy, with Pitts’ next move likely to dominate NFL trade discussions. The 2026 season could prove crucial for the young tight end, whether he remains in Atlanta or moves on to a new opportunity.
