Eagles Eyeing Kyle Pitts: A Potential Trade for the Future?
Philadelphia Eagles Eye Kyle Pitts as Potential Tight End Trade Target for 2025
As the Philadelphia Eagles gear up for the 2025 NFL season, the tight end position appears secure with star Dallas Goedert leading the charge. However, with Goedert and the rest of the tight end roster lacking contracts beyond the upcoming season, the defending Super Bowl champions may soon find themselves in the market for a notable trade.
Enter Kyle Pitts, the Atlanta Falcons’ talented tight end, who has recently become the subject of trade discussions. According to FOX Sports NFL insider Jordan Schultz, the Falcons have received inquiries about Pitts, although they would prefer to keep him. Reports suggest that Atlanta might be willing to entertain offers for at least a Day 2 draft pick, a sentiment echoed by ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.
USA TODAY’s Cory Woodroof has identified the Eagles as a prime landing spot for Pitts, proposing a trade that could see Philadelphia offer a 2026 third-round pick in exchange for the dynamic tight end. "The Eagles already have Dallas Goedert on the roster, but Philly has the draft capital to make the Falcons an offer they couldn’t refuse," Woodroof stated. "With a plethora of draft picks heading into 2026, the Eagles could easily part with one of their third-round selections."
Despite being selected fourth overall in the 2021 NFL Draft, Pitts has not yet lived up to the lofty expectations set for him. Over the past three seasons, he has accumulated just 1,625 yards, a stark contrast to his impressive rookie season where he tallied 1,026 yards. Nevertheless, his electrifying talent remains undeniable, and many believe he could thrive in a more potent offensive scheme.
For the Eagles, acquiring Pitts for a third-round pick could be a savvy move, bolstering their tight end depth while also providing a potential game-changing weapon in their offense. As the offseason progresses, all eyes will be on Philadelphia to see if they make a play for the Falcons’ star tight end.
With the NFL landscape constantly evolving, the Eagles’ pursuit of Pitts could reshape their offensive strategy and solidify their position as contenders for another championship run.
