There will likely be further changes this offseason besides that. The Bengals are expected to acquire Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts through a trade, according to ESPN’s Ben Solak, and Cincinnati will have new faces in the building before the 2025 season begins.
“Tight end Kyle Pitts is due $10.8 million on the final year of his deal in 2025 (signed a 4-year $32.9 million deal in 2021),” added Solak. Will the Falcons be able to trade him for more than they would have to pay for a compensatory pick once he goes in free agency? They could, in my opinion, since he has a brighter future on an offence that truly utilises his skill set. I think the Bengals will deal Pitts for a third-day game.
