NFL Trade Rumors
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports the Falcons are signing TE Kyle Pitts to a three-year, $54 million contract with $36 million guaranteed.

Pitts, 25, was a two-year starter at Florida and a first-team All-SEC selection as a sophomore and junior. He won the John Mackey Award for the best tight end in the country before the Falcons drafted him with the No. 4 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.
