Steelers Reportedly Seek Falcons Tight End Kyle Pitts Trade

The Pittsburgh Steelers, after signing quarterback Aaron Rodgers for the 2025 NFL season, have expressed interest in acquiring Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts to enhance their offensive weapons. Pitts, who was the highest-drafted tight end in NFL history and had a strong rookie season under former Falcons coach Arthur Smith, now serves as the Steelers' offensive coordinator, making the potential trade appealing due to their prior connection. Despite the Steelers' inquiry, the Falcons are reportedly reluctant to trade Pitts unless offered at least a third-round draft pick, a price many teams seem unwilling to meet. Pitts is currently sidelined with a strained foot muscle and is entering the final year of his rookie contract, having seen decreased usage in recent seasons. The Steelers are actively seeking additional playmakers, also exploring other tight ends and wide receivers to complement Rodgers and their top wideout D.K. Metcalf. While trade talks continue, no deal appears imminent, and Pitts is expected to remain with the Falcons as he recovers.
