    Falcons' Kyle Pitts: Agrees to three-year extension

    Kyle Pitts and the Atlanta Falcons agreed to terms Tuesday on a three-year, $54 million contract extension, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.Atlanta extended Pitts a franchise tender earlier this offseason, but both sides have agreed to terms on a multi-year deal that includes $36 million fully guaranteed. Per Schefter, Pitts' annual average salary makes him the third-highest paid tight end in the league behind George Kittle (Achilles) and Trey McBride. The Falcons also signed Drake London (undisclosed) to a massive four-year contract in early June, while Bijan Robinson remains a candidate for a new deal after the team exercised the fifth-year option on his rookie deal. Pitts produced an 88-928-5 line (118 targets) in 17 regular-season games last year and will look to build chemistry with quarterbacks Michael Penix (ACL) and Tua Tagovailoa this offseason.

    Falcons' Kyle Pitts: Locked in for 2026

    Kyle Pitts signed his franchise tender with the Atlanta Falcons for the 2026 season Thursday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.Pitts thus is locked in for the coming campaign at a salary of $15.045 million. After posting 1,026 receiving yards as a rookie first-round pick in 2021, the tight end has fallen short of 1,000 yards in each of his subsequent four seasons, but he bounced back last year with an 88-928-5 line on 118 targets in 17 regular-season games. Pitts' potential signal-callers for 2026 are Michael Penix (knee) and newcomer Tua Tagovailoa, who will be competing for the starting job during the offseason program through the preseason.

The 25-year-old tight end finished 2025 with an 88-928-5 line on 118 targets while suiting up for all 17 regular-season games. Pitts' major task this offseason will be to establish a rapport with new quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who will compete with Michael Penix (knee) for the starting job under center.

    Falcons' Kyle Pitts: Franchise tag official

    The Atlanta Falcons officially placed their franchise tag on Kyle Pitts on Tuesday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.The expected move prevents Pitts from reaching the open market in free agency, while he and the Falcons have until July 15 to negotiate a potential multi-year extension. Per McElhaney, the projected franchise tag value for tight ends in 2026 will be approximately $16 million. The 2021 first-rounder is coming off a 2025 regular season in which he recorded 88 catches for 928 yards and five touchdowns (on 118 targets) in 17 games.

    Falcons' Kyle Pitts: Expected to receive franchise tag

    The Atlanta Falcons are expected to designate Kyle Pitts with the franchise tag, retaining the impending free agent for the 2026 season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.Atlanta will keep Pitts in house via the franchise tag, a one-year exclusive deal worth over $15 million for the 2026 campaign, rather than let the 2021 first-round pick reach the open market as a free agent. NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports that the team wants to retain Pitts via a long-term deal, and the franchise tag will allow both sides until mid-July to negotiate on a potential multi-year extension. New Falcons head coach Kevin Stefanski and GM Ian Cunningham appear to consider it a priority to keep around long term Pitts after he broke out with 88 catches, 928 yards and five touchdowns (118 targets) across 17 regular-season appearances in 2025, career-high marks across the board.

    Falcons' Kyle Pitts: Productive in season finale

    Kyle Pitts secured six of nine targets for 58 yards in the Atlanta Falcons' 19-17 win over the Saints on Sunday.The veteran tight end played a key role in a Falcons victory that made the Panthers the NFC South champions in the process, leading the way in both receptions and targets on the afternoon while also securing the ball on New Orleans' last-ditch onside-kick attempt. Pitts' Week 18 performance put a fitting cap on a strong stretch run that saw him record at least six receptions and 57 yards in five of his final six games. Pitts wrapped up the 2025 regular season with a well-timed 88-928-5 receiving line across 17 games, and both his reception and touchdown totals qualified as career-high figures with unrestricted free agency looming this offseason.

    Falcons' Kyle Pitts: Receives green light for Sunday

    Kyle Pitts (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Saints, Tori McElhaney of the Atlanta Falcons' official site reports.Pitts has been deemed available for the season finale after he was listed as questionable heading into Sunday following a trio of limited practices during the week. Though the Atlanta coaching staff hasn't specifically mentioned that Pitts will be on a restricted snap count Sunday, fantasy managers should be cognizant that the tight end could carry more playing-time risk than usual since he's nursing an injury and the 7-9 Falcons are eliminated from playoff contention and have little at stake in the season finale. Like Pitts, wideouts Drake London (knee) and Darnell Mooney (knee) were also listed as questionable following Friday's practice but will be available to play in some capacity.

    Falcons' Kyle Pitts: Questionable but expected to play

    Atlanta Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said Friday that he's optimistic that Kyle Pitts (knee) will be able to suit up for Sunday's season finale against New Orleans, but that the tight end is officially listed as questionable, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.Morris offered identical evaluations for top wideouts Drake London (knee) and Darnell Mooney (knee). Pitts fell down to earth during Atlanta's win over the Rams in Week 17, a contest in which he secured just two of three targets for 16 yards while Kirk Cousins completed just 13 passes. Across his prior four appearances, though, Pitts had averaged 98.8 receiving yards per game and totaled four receiving scores. If he's indeed cleared to suit up versus the Saints, the pending unrestricted free agent will have no shortage of motivation to log another performance reminiscent of those four outings.

    Falcons' Kyle Pitts: Another limited listing

    Kyle Pitts (knee) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the Atlanta Falcons' official site reports.This marks Pitts' fourth week in a row being listed on Atlanta injury reports with a knee issue, but he's been able to suit up for each of the last three games, compiling a 20-239-4 line on 24 targets during that stretch. Friday's practice report will reveal whether or not Pitts enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's contest against the Saints.

    Falcons' Kyle Pitts: Estimated as limited

    Kyle Pitts (knee) is listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report, Tori McElhaney of the Atlanta Falcons' official site reports.Pitts has had his practice reps capped leading up to each of Atlanta's last three games due to a lingering knee injury, but he's managed to gain clearance for each of those contests without being assigned an official injury designation. The starting tight end fell back down to earth with just two catches for 16 yards (on three targets) during Monday's win over the Rams, in which Kirk Cousins completed just 13 passes for 126 yards. Pitts will work to gain clearance and bounce back during Sunday's regular-season finale against the Saints.
