Falcons Tag Kyle Pitts Before Free Agency

The Atlanta Falcons are expected to place the franchise tag on tight end Kyle Pitts before the start of NFL free agency, securing his return for one year.

Tagging Pitts marks the first major move of new GM Ian Cunningham's tenure. Pitts led the team with 928 receiving yards and five touchdowns in 2025.

NFL fans expressed surprise that the top tight end is likely off the market, with some lamenting the reduced appeal of free agency.
