Tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. and the Atlanta Falcons reached agreement Tuesday on a three-year, $54 million contract that includes $36 million fully guaranteed, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter and NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
The $18 million average annual value of Pitts’ deal makes him the NFL’s third-highest paid tight end behind the San Francisco 49ers’ George Kittle ($19.1 million) and the Arizona Cardinals’ Trey McBride ($19 million).
