Giants named a potential trade suitor for Atlanta Falcons’ TE Kyle Pitts

Is this a deal you would make?

If Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts truly is on the trade block, should the New York Giants be among the suitors?

Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports reports that the Falcons have been listening to offers for the No. 4 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, and that a Day 2 pick might pique the Falcons’ interest.

Is Pitts, whose production has declined dramatically since a Pro Bowl rookie season that saw him gain 1,026 receiving yards, worth giving up a Day 2 pick for? Should the Giants be interested?

CBS Sports’ Cody Benjamin lists the Giants among potential landing spots. He writes:

Are the Giants in a position to pay for immediate help? They may be short on salary cap space, but Pitts’ appeal, at age 24, is that he could also stick around for the long term. Head coach Brian Daboll would surely be OK pairing the big man with Malik Nabers, giving Russell Wilson an added safety valve for an offense sorely lacking secondary playmakers over the last few years. Assuming this link-up would extend beyond 2025, Pitts’ arrival would also bode well for Jaxson Dart, the presumptive quarterback of the future.

In the last three years, the 24-year-old Pitts has not come close to his 68-catch, 1,026-yard rookie season. In 2024, he had just 47 catches for 602 yards (12.8 yards per catch), albeit he did have a career-best 4 touchdown catches.

The Giants have 24-year-old Theo Johnson entering his second season. He showed promise last season with 29 receptions in 12 games before suffering a season-ending Lisfranc injury. They also have Daniel Bellinger, who will be 25 in September, Chris Manhertz and seventh-round pick Thomas Fidone II.

One factor to consider is that the Giants are already without a 2026 third-round pick, having given that up when they moved from No. 34 to No. 25 in the 2025 NFL Draft to select quarterback Jaxson Dart. It seems unlikely the Giants would want to surrender their second-round pick, meaning they would enter the draft without a Day 2 selection.

My vote on the idea of trading for Pitts would be a strong “no.” How about yours? Vote in teh poll and let us know.
