Falcons Could Use Franchise Tag on Kyle Pitts Sr.
Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. would likely be one of the best free-agent options at his position this offseason if he were to reach the open market. The organization might not let that happen, though, and could use the franchise tag on him. Pitts opened everyone's eyes to how great he can be during Thursday's win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, hauling in 11 of his 12 targets for 166 yards while scoring three touchdowns in a comeback victory. The 25-year-old has been underwhelming during his career in Atlanta, but has shown flashes of greatness. There is enough upside that multiple organizations would likely be willing to gamble on Pitts if he were to become a free agent. The Falcons might attempt to delay that with the franchise tag, but we'll see what direction they decide to go in this offseason.
