Oyle Pitts is in the final year of his rookie contract with the Atlanta Falcons.
The question arises: will the fourth overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft remain with Atlanta until the end of the 2025 season? According to Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports, multiple teams have inquired about trading for Pitts. While Atlanta would prefer to keep him, they are willing to trade the 24-year-old for a Day 2 pick.
Despite a promising start with a 1,000-yard rookie season, Pitts’ production has faltered since then. Despite this, interest remains high due to Pitts’ youth and athleticism, with just 10 career receiving touchdowns and modest yardage in recent years. Potential landing spots include the Los Angeles Chargers, the Tennessee Titans, the New England Patriots, the Miami Dolphins and the Denver Broncos, each of which offers Pitts the opportunity to shine.
Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Eagles have managed to retain Dallas Goedert for the 2025 NFL season, despite speculation about a possible trade. However, Goedert, who turns 31 in January, will become a free agent after the season. Meanwhile, Kyle Pitts’ contract is also expiring, prompting Howie Roseman to consider signing a younger tight end to succeed Goedert.
