"It's my job as the general manager to do what's best for the organization. Kyle is a great player. We've seen his skill set. Also, it's my job to listen. We're excited to have Kyle. We're excited for his future."
"Pitts has struggled to live up to his first-round billing through five years in the NFL, although his performance in 2025 was enough for the new regime to commit to 2026."
"If Pitts does stick in Atlanta, there will once again be some uncertainty about his future with the team, as the new leadership evaluates his performance."

The tight end market is competitive, and several teams may seek to acquire Pitts.
