The Kanas City Chiefs have one of the best tight ends of all time in Travis Kelce, but this may be his final season in the NFL, as he is about to turn 36 years old.
So now is as good of a time as ever to start looking for his successor.
In a recent video posted by Bleacher Report, Mitch Milani puts together 10 blockbuster trades for the Chiefs to make that would help get Patrick Mahouts his fourth ring. One of the deals he proposes would have the Chiefs sending a few late-round picks in 2026 to the Atlanta Falcons in exchange for young tight end Kyle Pitts.
"Falcons fans would even agree that Kyle Pitts has been poorly treated and poorly utilized," Milani said. "So why not give him to a team with Andy Reid that has used Travis Kelce magnificently?"
The Falcons selected Pitts out of Florida with the fourth overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, which made him the highest-drafted tight end in history. But his career so far has not been exactly what Atlanta thought it would be.
In 2024, Pitts finished with a fairly disappointing 602 receiving yards and four touchdowns, which on the bright side, is the most he has been to the end zone in a season so far. But many think this is not Pitt's fault, as the Falcons have not utilized his skills at the tight end position very well.
If there is someone that knows how to incorporate a star tight end into an offense, it is Andy Reid. As a result, the reigning AFC champions could consider looking into a trade for Pitts going into the 2025 season.
