5 hypothetical suitors for a potential Kyle Pitts trade

5 hypothetical suitors for a potential Kyle Pitts trade

Kyle Pitts is still young and plenty of teams are looking to cash in.

NFL insider Jordan Schultz has reported that multiple teams have currently reached out to the Falcons about the availability of former number-four overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, Kyle Pitts. Schultz is quick to say that “nothing is imminent,” effectively downplaying the inquiries surrounding Pitts, which makes sense.

General manager Terry Fontenot and head coach Raheem Morris need to make the playoffs this season to secure their jobs, making every morsel of talent on the roster that much more important. Also, this move would effectively...

Atlanta Falcons 2026 way-too-early mock draft tracker

Sickos Unite. The 2026 Draft is going to be here before you know it.

Welcome to the middle of OTAs, where everything is magnified by 100, partly because we can only watch the Atlanta Braves hover around .500 for so long. While the Atlanta Falcons haven’t given us much more to celebrate as of late, if anything at all, there is optimism to be had surrounding quarterback Michael Penix, Jr. and this young offense. With OTAs in full swing, there is a lot of good feeling surrounding what the 2025 Falcons can look like.

Does that mean that it’s too...

Falcons 2025 preseason schedule unveiled

Falcons 2025 preseason schedule unveiled

Atlanta’s three games will give them plenty of challenges.

The NFL has announced the full preseason schedule, and if you’re a fan of Friday night football, both you and the Atlanta Falcons sure lucked out.

Atlanta’s taking on the Lions, Titans, and Cowboys in August this year, a set of opponents that is a bit atypical after they’ve seemingly challenged the Dolphins and Jaguars regularly for a while now. That’s a good mix of NFC contenders (Detroit, to a lesser extent Dallas) and a rebuilding AFC squad, with all three teams carrying enough depth to make for somewhat interesting matchups....

Report: Multiple teams have reached out to Falcons with interest in Kyle Pitts

Report: Multiple teams have reached out to Falcons with interest in Kyle Pitts

Could Kyle Pitts be on the move?

The first day of OTAs kicked off earlier this week for the Atlanta Falcons, and one of the more notable players absent was tight end Kyle Pitts. A report came out soon after explaining that Pitts is dealing with a foot injury, but is at the team facility getting treatment and working to get back on track.

On Friday morning, another report came out, this one by NFL Insider Jordan Schultz, that multiple teams have inquired about trading for Pitts and it appears the Falcons didn’t exactly shut it down.

Reviewing the report...

Friday Falconry: Who will be this year’s unexpected breakout player?

Friday Falconry: Who will be this year’s unexpected breakout player?

Who is the man who will defy modest (or zero) expectations to thrive in Atlanta this season?

Ray-Ray McCloud. Jonnu Smith. Tyler Allgeier. Cordarrelle Patterson. What do they all have in common?

Well, they all play on offense, a theme for an Atlanta Falcons team that has been light on surprising defensive players in recent years. But they’re all also players who have broken out in a major way in prior years. McCloud was an unexpected key contributor in 2024, Smith was Atlanta’s unexpectedly major signing for 2023, Allgeier was far better as a rookie in 2022 than even optimists...

Falcons re-sign Center Ryan Neuzil to 2-year deal

Falcons re-sign Center Ryan Neuzil to 2-year deal

After a wait, Neuzil gets a new deal.

The Atlanta Falcons finally inked a contract with their presumed 2025 starting center, Ryan Neuzil. The two parties have agreed to a two-year $9.5M deal with $6.5M guaranteed.

Neuzil filled in for nine games after new Chicago Bears center Drew Dalman went down with an ankle injury. PFF ranked Neuzil as the 36th-best center last year, and Dalman was 22nd. While the two centers provided a similar level of pass protection, Neuzil didn’t offer the same push as Dalman in the run, and he also had seven penalties.

Nevertheless, Neuzil did enough...

Falcons post-draft roster review: Safety as a strength

Falcons post-draft roster review: Safety as a strength

Adding a veteran in Jordan Fuller and a gifted rookie in Xavier Watts makes the safety group look good as hell.

The Atlanta Falcons had an uncertain safety group heading into this offseason, with Justin Simmons hitting free agency, DeMarcco Hellams still a question mark coming off a major injury, and not much else to speak of. With a pair of moves, the Falcons turned a position that was shaky outside of Jessie Bates into a position that looks among the roster’s strongest.

They did so by spending a third round pick on a talented, ballhawking rookie safety and signing...

Kirk Cousins, Kyle Pitts not in attendance as Falcons begin OTAs

The veteran quarterback may be sending a message with his absence from OTAs.

On Tuesday, OTAs for 20 more NFL teams began, signaling the start of the Third Phase of the NFL offseason program. The final five teams will begin their OTAs tomorrow, joining the teams who hired a new head coach this offseason whom began their sessions last week.

The Falcons wasted no time finding their way into the headlines Tuesday morning as the head coach Raheem Morris told reporters that veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins is not in attendance for the start of OTAs. This is yet another step...

Bralen Trice return by training camp a ‘realistic goal,’ per Raheem Morris

Bralen Trice return by training camp a ‘realistic goal,’ per Raheem Morris

The second year pro could carve out a role in Atlanta’s outside linebacker group if he’s healthy for the 2025 season.

I wrote about Bralen Trice, forgotten man a few weeks back. My argument was that if he was healthy, Trice’s well-rounded game could be a boon for an outside linebacker group set to debut many new pieces.

The justified response from some Atlanta Falcons fans was “well, do we know he’s healthy?” The answer to that still isn’t a clear cut yes or no, but we did get [a welcome update on the second-year pass rusher from Raheem Morris...

Falcons 2025 OTAs start today. Here’s what to expect

Things are ramping up for the Falcons, especially young players like Michael Penix Jr.

We’re officially one month removed from the draft, and while the NFL is firmly in its “dead period,” real sickos like you know the Atlanta Falcons OTAs start this week!

Here’s the schedule: May 27th-28th, May 30th, June 2nd-3rd, and June 5th.

“Organized Team Activities” (OTAs) sounds far more exciting than what it is. These voluntary practices won’t contain major installs or even contact amongst players, but it’s an ideal environment for the 2025 team to gel and build rapport.

No player is looking to do...
