Report: Kyle Pitts, Falcons Agree to Extension
As Schefter noted in his report, the deal for Pitts is the largest three-year deal for a tight end in NFL history. It also makes Pitts the third-highest paid tight end in the NFL by annual value, behind George Kittle ($19.1M) and Trey McBride ($19M), and ahead of Isaiah Likely ($13.33M) and Mark Andrews ($13.08M).
Pitts signed the franchise tag with the Falcons earlier this spring, which is negated by today’s extension for their star tight end. The Falcons would have paid him $15 million in 2026 on the tag; instead, Pitts gets a slight yearly bump, $36 million in guaranteed money, and some long-term certainty.

Pitts caught 88 passes for 928 yards and five touchdowns last season, including an 11-reception, 166-yard, three-touchdown performance in Week 15 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday Night Football.
Atlanta has now secured contract extensions with Pitts and wide receiver Drake London. With Pitts and London now secured long-term, the next order of business for the Falcons will be an extension with running back Bijan Robinson.
