Falcons have 45 million reasons not to bring back Kyle Pitts this offseason

The Atlanta Falcons are approaching an incredibly pivotal offseason on the offensive side of the football. Both Bijan Robinson and Drake London are eligible for lucrative long-term extensions, Michael Penix Jr. will be rehabbing a partially torn ACL, and Kyle Pitts is set to hit free agency this coming March.

The fifth-year tight end was selected fourth overall in the 2021 NFL Draft, and his time in Atlanta has been a true roller coaster. He shined as a rookie, but a mix of quarterback purgatory and injuries hampered his consistency, but has enjoyed a bounce-back campaign with Penix starting this year.
