Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

This Kyle Pitts deal is an absolute steal for Atlanta, earning an A+ CVI that reflects one of the most team-friendly contracts in the league. The Falcons are paying just $0.8M annually for a solid starter at tight end — a position where even middling veterans command $4-6M per year in free agency. At 24 years old, Pitts still has untapped ceiling despite some early-career inconsistency, making this dirt-cheap salary a calculated gamble with massive upside potential. The minimal financial commitment means Atlanta faces virtually zero risk if Pitts continues to underperform relative to his draft pedigree, while the reward could be enormous if he develops into the elite receiving threat many projected him to become. This contract gives the Falcons incredible roster flexibility while betting on talent at a bargain price — exactly the type of deal that championship teams capitalize on.

Performance Analysis

Kyle Pitts Sr. earns a C+ grade that represents a complicated picture for the former top-five pick. The Falcons' tight end has the most explosive athletic profile at the position in the entire NFL — his speed, route-running, and catch radius are legitimately generational. However, the production hasn't consistently matched the hype due to quarterback play, offensive scheme changes, and injuries. When Pitts is featured, he's virtually unguardable as a receiving tight end. The C+ grade reflects the frustrating gap between what Pitts can do and what the circumstances have allowed him to show. Atlanta needs to find ways to unlock the talent that made him a historic draft pick.
