Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts emphatically shut down a rumor Tuesday that he and Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins have been in contact about a possible team-up in Atlanta.
While appearing on ESPN’s The Pat McAfee Show, ProFootballTalk’s Mike Florio said he heard a rumor that Cousins, who is set to be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, has been in contact with Pitts about possibly taking his jersey number should he join the Falcons. Both players wear the No. 8.
