Week 1 of the 2023 NFL season was all Dez Bryant needed to see to know that Kyle Pitts needed a new home. The former Cowboys wide receiver made a plea on X, formerly known as Twitter, for his old team to swing a deal for the Falcons tight end, and did so with a simple picture and one sentence.
“Get Kyle Pitts to Dallas please!!!” Bryant wrote online. “This is unacceptable!!! He deserves better.”
Bryant posted a picture of Pitts wide open calling for the ball during his team’s 24–10 win over the Panthers on Sunday. The play ended with an incompletion and it appeared quarterback Desmond Ridder never saw his 6’6” tight end. It’s likely a bit too early to be sewing seeds of doubt in Atlanta, but Pitts has certainly fallen short of expectations since being drafted — it may not be entirely his fault, though.
