The Atlanta Falcons have the makings of an elite offense, but they’ll have to show more balance over the final 14 games of the 2023 season in order to take that next step.
The passing game has been slow to come, and players like Kyle Pitts and Drake London haven’t put up the kind of numbers that fans expect. At 2-1, the Falcons are probably not too worried about either player’s statistical production.
Buy Falcons TicketsWith some calling for Atlanta to move Pitts, though, NFL Network reporter Jane Slater reached out to the team to see if a trade was possible. A source within the Falcons organization gave Slater a definitive answer…
"LOL. No way"
The Cowboys are always looking to bolster their offense, so when I heard a show say Dallas should call Atlanta to see if Kyle Pitts is available, I checked into it.

Twitter reacts to Pitts trade talk
The Falcons are like my dog with her toys. There's plenty she doesn't play with anymore – but she doesn't want other dogs to play with them either!
The Falcons don't want to throw the ball to Kyle Pitts, they just don't want anyone else to do so either https://t.co/geOewK1mPL

“We have no earthly idea how to use him, but you can’t have him either.” – The Falcons

I mean, the #Falcons have failed to use him so I don’t understand why they wouldn’t consider a trade https://t.co/YAumLZO5Px

I'm not even Falcons fan – but isn't also possible that they see it with Pitts, but not Ridder.

I would LOVE this but also think its hilarious the Falcons say no way while continuing to not utilize him. https://t.co/B93diNvIEy

Well, Pitts isn't doing much good rotting away in that offense who can't find a QB that can actually get him the ball. https://t.co/56u8MrjLw6

told y'all Atl wont trade Pitts even if they never use him in the offense.. Ertz is a more realistic option at TE https://t.co/SqZWdxcvY6
