"That'd be dope in general as a room and just for morale as an offensive piece, [with] the tight end being one of the focal points in it," Pitts said ( via Schultz on X). The tight end clarified that he had a significant role under Arthur Smith and Raheem Morris, but he expected an "enhanced role" if he sticks in Atlanta for the long haul."
"Pitts has struggled to live up to his fourth-overall-pick billing. While he topped 1,000 receiving yards as a rookie, he was limited to only 1,625 combined receiving yards over the following three years. The impending free agent showed signs of life in 2025, finishing with a career-high 88 catches for 928 yards and five scores."
Kyle Pitts enters free agency after a career-high 2025 season of 88 catches for 928 yards and five touchdowns. Pitts is intrigued by the opportunity to continue his Falcons career under new head coach Kevin Stefanski and sees the tight end as a focal point in that offense. Pitts held a significant role under Arthur Smith and Raheem Morris but expects an enhanced role if he remains in Atlanta long-term. Inconsistent quarterback play limited other tight ends, yet Stefanski has produced notable tight end usage and results. The Falcons may consider the franchise tag but roster plans under new leadership remain uncertain.
