Teams are making calls to acquire Kyle Pitts from the Falcons. ESPN insider Adam Schefter said during an episode of “The Adam Schefter Podcast” that Atlanta isn’t initiating any moves itself, but the organization is certainly fielding offers for the star tight end.

Kyle Pitts has been with the Atlanta Falcons his entire NFL career, but the NFC South team is reportedly open to changing that if it receives the right offer this offseason.
