The Tennessee Titans are gearing up for a new era with rookie quarterback Cam Ward at the helm, and the franchise is making it clear that they want to provide him with the tools necessary to succeed. One potential blockbuster move gaining traction is a trade proposal involving Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts. If executed, this trade could significantly bolster Tennessee’s offense and give Ward a dynamic playmaker in the middle of the field.
Why Kyle Pitts Makes Sense for the Titans
Kyle Pitts, the No. 4 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, entered the league with high expectations. Regarded as a generational talent at the tight end position, Pitts drew comparisons to Hall of Famers due to his rare combination of size (6’6”, 245 lbs), speed, and receiving ability. In his rookie season, he flashed his potential by eclipsing 1,000 receiving yards—becoming just the second rookie tight end in NFL history to do so. However, injuries, inconsistent quarterback play, and scheme issues have limited his production since then.
Now, entering his fourth season and with a new regime in Atlanta, Pitts’ future with the Falcons is uncertain. Reports suggest the team is open to trading him, especially as he deals with an undisclosed injury that’s kept him sidelined for OTAs. While Atlanta may not be eager to give up on Pitts, his reduced role and the emergence of other offensive weapons have made him expendable.
