“LOL, No Way” – Falcons Vehemently Deny Trade Rumors Surrounding Star TE Kyle Pitts, Amidst Criticism Over Underutilizing the 22-Year-Old
Follow Us
A former NFL player, Robert Griffin II, who now talks about NFL games on TV, said that the Dallas Cowboys should try to get TE Kyle Pitts from the Atlanta Falcons. TE Kyle Pitts is a player who can catch the ball very well, but the Falcons are not using him much. They mostly make him block other players or pretend to catch the ball so that other players can get it.
Griffin thinks that the Cowboys can use Pitts better and make him a star on their team. But the recent reports come, that the Falcons do not want to give Pitts away, even if he is not doing very well. They want to keep him for now.
Atlanta Falcons squash trade rumors
The Atlanta Falcons have emphatically denied the rumors of trading their star tight end, Kyle Pitts. Many fans have expressed frustration with the team’s underutilization of Pitts, despite his young age of only 22. According to a recent report by Dov Kleiman, the Falcons are standing firm on their decision not to trade Kyle Pitts, who was the fourth overall pick in the NFL Draft. When asked about the possibility of a trade, a team source responded with a humorous “LOL, no way.” The source also mentioned that the Dallas Cowboys expressed interest in improving their offense and inquiring about Kyle Pitts, but Atlanta declined the proposal.

An NFL insider, Kleiman, said that Pitts has caught the ball only 9 times in 3 games this year. That is very low compared to last year when he caught the ball 28 times. He has also scored only three times in his three years in the NFL. That means he is not playing as well as he can.
