Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts and the team agree to a three-year contract extension worth $54 million, with the deal keeping Pitts in Atlanta through at least the 2028 season. Multiple outlets report the agreement comes after Pitts’ strong 2025 production, which included career-best output and All-Pro recognition. One report states the contract includes $36 million guaranteed, and others describe the extension as making Pitts one of the highest-paid tight ends in the NFL. The Athletic notes Pitts’ 2025 stat line of 88 receptions for 928 yards and five touchdowns. Other coverage emphasizes that the contract is a significant long-term commitment for Atlanta, while also acknowledging that some observers still question whether Pitts’ performance will be consistent given his earlier injury-affected seasons and the club’s quarterback situation. Overall, the reports converge that the extension is record-setting in value for the position and removes Pitts from the possibility of playing on a franchise tag.
