While it's not necessarily a lock to happen, the Atlanta Falcons and tight end Kyle Pitts are reportedly both open to a trade that would send the former fourth overall draft pick elsewhere.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler confirmed the possibility of a trade on Saturday, first reported by NFL insider Jordan Schultz. Schultz shared earlier this week that teams have called Atlanta about the possibility of a trade, though Atlanta would reportedly prefer to keep Pitts and would need a Day 2 pick at least to make things serious.

While Pitts has yet to fully live up to his stellar 2021 rookie season, he hauled in 602 yards and a career-high four touchdowns in his fourth NFL season last fall. As Pitts is only 24, he still has plenty of room to grow.

The Falcons could always keep Pitts around to help quarterback Michael Penix Jr. in his first year as a starter, but a trade seems more likely than ever. Let's run through five possible options for Pitts and Atlanta.

If Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith wants to reunite with his former first-round tight end, the Falcons could send Pitts to Pittsburgh to play with, well, whoever the quarterback is there this year. The Steelers could pair Pitts with Pat Freiermuth to give Pittsburgh a real one-two punch at tight end. Pittsburgh could send tight end Darnell Washington back to Atlanta as part of a trade package to get this done.

Dallas Cowboys

The Cowboys have already traded for wide receiver George Pickens this month, but adding Pitts to Dallas' offense would give it even more firepower. The Cowboys could unlock more of Pitts' potential by making him a featured part of their offense, since it certainly looks like Dallas will be a pass-happy team this fall. Former second-round tight end Luke Schoonmaker could be a trade candidate back for the Falcons.

Philadelphia Eagles

The Eagles already have tight end Dallas Goedert on the roster, but Philly has the draft capital to make the Falcons an offer it couldn't refuse if the team really wanted to add Pitts to the roster. With a plethora of draft picks going into 2026, the Eagles could offer one of its third-round picks to see if that gets the job done. That would be the most Atlanta would get in draft compensation if Pitts left as a free agent next spring, anyhow.

Tennessee Titans

If the Titans wanted to get quarterback Cam Ward an exciting new passing option, Pitts could walk into Tennessee and make an early case for being the team's top passing option after wide receiver Calvin Ridley. The Titans have the draft capital to make this happen in the same fashion as the Eagles, but the team could throw in tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo to keep the draft return low.

Miami Dolphins

Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel is all smiles as he leaves the field after an 11-6 victory over the New York Jets at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Jan. 8, 2023.

The Dolphins have reportedly been in talks to trade tight end Jonnu Smith, and Pitts could be Miami's perfect replacement at tight end who could thrive in Mike McDaniel's pass-first offense. If McDaniel could unlock Pitts' full potential, this could be a huge boost to a Miami team that needs to make a real playoff push in 2025.
