The Atlanta Falcons and star tight end Kyle Pitts have reached an agreement on a three-year, $54 million contract extension, according to Marc Raimondi of ESPN.
The deal secures the future of the former No. 4 overall pick in Atlanta for the next several seasons. Kyle Pitts has been a centerpiece of the Falcons' offense since his record-breaking rookie campaign in 2021, when he became the first rookie tight end in six decades to surpass 1,000 receiving yards. This new agreement reflects the organization's long-term commitment to the versatile playmaker as they continue to build their roster around core offensive talents.
Specific details regarding the signing bonus and total guaranteed money included in the $54 million deal have not yet been disclosed. Kyle Pitts, a Pro Bowl selection early in his career, was approaching a critical juncture of his rookie contract before this extension was finalized. By locking in Pitts, the Atlanta Falcons ensure that their primary passing target remains under contract as the team navigates the upcoming seasons.
