Kyle Pitts Denies Kirk Cousins, Falcons Jersey Number Rumor Ahead of NFL Free Agency

After a recent report that he's been in contact with veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins, Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts took to social media to clear up any rumors.

Pitts denied a report from Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio that he and Cousins have discussed who will be wearing the No. 8 for the Falcons next season:

Cousins is set to become a free agent after spending the last six seasons with the Minnesota Vikings, and he has been frequently linked to the Falcons. Florio recently reported that the 35-year-old is "seriously considering moving his family to Atlanta" because his wife, Julie, grew up nearby in Alpharetta, Georgia and her parents still live there.
