- Kyle Pitts Sr. and the Atlanta Falcons reached agreement Tuesday on a three-year, $54 million contract that includes $36 million fully guaranteed, per ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
- Pitts had signed the franchise tag earlier this offseason; the new deal means he will not play the 2026 season on the tag.
- The Falcons and Pitts had a July 15 deadline to finalize a long-term extension, which they met with Tuesday's agreement.
- Atlanta has now locked up both Pitts and wide receiver Drake London on long-term contracts this offseason.
- With Pitts and London secured, the Falcons can now turn their attention to star running back Bijan Robinson.
Why it matters: Atlanta retains a key offensive building block on a fully guaranteed-heavy short-term deal, keeping its cap structure flexible while signaling Robinson is the next extension priority. The July 15 deadline made Tuesday's agreement a must-beat date for both sides.
