00:08The 25-year-old is now set to earn approximately $16.5 million for the 2026 season.
00:19General Manager Ian Cunningham stated,
00:21The team is not in the business of letting good players go.
00:25Both sides have until July 15th to negotiate a long-term deal to replace the tag.
00:33This marks only the fourth time in franchise history that the Falcons have used the tag.
00:41Pitts is coming off a stellar 2025 season where he earned second-team All-Pro honors.
00:49He recorded career highs in 2025 with 88 receptions, 118 targets, and five touchdowns.
