Dolphins Making ANOTHER BLOCKBUSTER Trade For Kyle Pitts? Miami Dolphins Rumors

[Music] The Miami Dolphins made multiple big trades this week, acquiring Darren Waller after sending out John Smith and Jaylen Ramsay to receive Ma Fitzpatrick. On today’s show, I want to look at if Miami could make another blockbuster trade for a different tight end. This one being named Kyle Pittz. I am your host Nick Rolloff. This is Dolphins Today by Chad Sports. And that’s kind of where I want to start with things. I know it’s been a busy week when it comes to the Miami Dolphins. You add in the former first round pick Fitzpatrick. You add Darren Waller, former Pro Bowl tight end. You shipped out Ramsay and John Smith. But I’ll be honest, I’m still interested in adding another tight end to this roster because I simply do not think that the group that Miami has now is that good or good enough. And with these two people being added, these two people being shipped out. The needs for Miami are simple. There is still need in the secondary, specifically with cornerback. We are all fine at safety now. And we do need to add another tight end in my opinion. So, we’ll talk about potentially adding the former fourth overall pick via trade and Kyle Pittz. Make sure you do follow me over on Twitter because with all the news coming out this week around the Miami Dolphins, we’ve broke it down over there before making videos on the channel. So follow me at nick_rolloff. Like 10 followers away from 200. So it’d be greatly appreciated if we get to 2k followers over on Twitter. One more time, Nick_rolloff. This isn’t coming out of the blue. We did a show about this in early June proposing a potential Ramsay for Kyle Pittz swap because there was alleged interest in Ramsay from Atlanta. And then this tweet originally reported from Jeremy Fowler how the Falcons could be willing to trade Kyle Pittz if they got the right offer. And Jordan Schultz followed up at the end of May saying that multiple teams have reached out for the availability of Kyle Pitts. Nothing is imminent, but it would take at least a day to pay to spark serious talks. And I’ll be honest, I am very interested in Kyle Pittz. This is a player that had a ton of talent, had an unbelievably good rookie season, but has tailed off over the last three years. He has not been used correctly, in my opinion, in the last three years in Atlanta. could be a dominant force for the Dolphins in Miami. And I mentioned the tight end room. This is where things currently sit after the trade for Darren Waller and John Smith being shipped out. I mean, you can name Darren Waller as your like number one receiving tight end. Sure, he’s not going to do a lot of like blocking assignments like Farrell Brown and Julian Hill would, but the point is this. Even after adding Darren Waller, it is still, in my opinion, the worst tight end room in the National Football League, considering Waller has not played football in a year and a half. And Julian Hill and Farrell Brown simply cannot be your lead two tight ends. It’s the worst group in football. So, yeah, Waller could be solid. It could be an interesting addition here, especially since it’s a low price tag. It’s just a flyer. And he’s not guaranteed anything either. By the way, there is a realistic pathway. It doesn’t work out. Waller doesn’t fit the system. Kind of goes awall like he’s done a little bit in the past and the Dolphins end up cutting him when the roster shrinks to 53 people in late August. So adding Kyle Pittz would give you a guaranteed tight end one going in the next season. It would give you more confidence in that room and he would just be an awesome addition to this Dolphins offense, making you so much more layered and so much more dynamic. So before we dive into some numbers on Kyle Pittz, pin comment on today’s show. Call your shot now. Do you want the trade for Kyle Pitts, the former fourth overall pick? Type T for trade, type P for pass, might get hit with YouTube ad break. So if you do, scroll down, let it play, and answer today’s question. If you cannot tell, I am very much interested in adding Kyle Pitts. And I mentioned he had a really strong rookie campaign, but it’s kind of declined ever since then. In the last three years, he had over a thousand yards. He didn’t have a lot of touchdowns, but he’s dealt with some interesting quarterback play in his career as well, going with Desmond Ritter, Marcus Mariota, bad Kirk Cousins, and a second half of Michael Pennock Jr., a rookie. So, he hasn’t had the best QB play, a two without a question, be the best quarterback he would ever play with. And I’m not saying he would return to being a thousand yard receiver. I don’t think that would be the case, especially when you have Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Wadd on the outside. But I think he’d be able to be way more productive in Miami than he’s been the last three seasons for Atlanta. And there’s been a lot of topic of him always being hurt. Well, he’s played 17 games in three of the last four seasons. So, I’m not that concerned with his injury history, even though he has a track record of soft tissue hamstring injuries and at least that lingering around him. And even though the numbers last season for Pitts was a little bit down, he still ranked as a consensus like top half tight end in terms of production. He was right there at halfway point in targets, lower on receptions, but yards per catch, yards total, touchdowns, all ranking in the top half of starting tight ends. Has he lived up to being the fourth overall pick? No, because if you’re drafted inside the top five, especially at the tight end position, you were thought of as a generational prospect that is going to be a top five tight end in the league. He has not been that. And that’s fine, but he’s still a pretty good or an abovea tight end. I also don’t think that he has been used the right way in Atlanta in terms of the scheme. They had Arthur Smith there. They’ve had now Zack Robinson. This regime, by the way, is not the regime that drafted Kyle Pittz. And that is a reason why I could see Atlanta potentially moving off of the former top five pick if they are given the right offer. I think in a different scheme, in a regime that actually values Pitts and wants him on their roster would be great for his success and bounce back in the NFL. And I think Miami, if they wanted him and made a trade for him, would be able to get the best out of Pitts. I mentioned that this regime is in the regime that wanted him. Well, I think this is a telling story here. In the last five weeks of the season for Atlanta, his snap count just fell off a cliff. Yeah, he got 78% of the snaps offensively in week 14, but in the final four weeks of the season, and it’s not like Atlanta’s year was over, by the way, he was in Atlanta fighting for a potential playoff spot. They were going into the final week, if they won and Tampa Bay lost, they could have made the postseason. And Pitts played under 50% of the snaps on offense in each of the last four games. It just didn’t make a lot of sense. They were almost phasing him out of the offense, which is why I do actually believe that Kyle Pittz could be available via trade. We got the Fowler report. We got the Schultz report. I know nothing has come to fruition, but when you read the tea leaves, you look at the drop in usage. The regime that is now currently running the Falcons wasn’t the regime that wanted him when he was drafted in 2020. You can start to put the pieces together here and be like, okay, if a team came with a good offer pit for Pitts, they would probably be willing to move on from him. And could it be Miami? I think it would be a fantastic idea. And I’ll even explain what more why I think that in a second. But if you want more daily coverage on the Dolphins, this is the channel for you. There is never a day we don’t put out content on the channel. So subscribe now and join us for the top coverage as we get closer and closer to training camp, preseason, and the regular season. What makes Janu Smith so good for Miami last season? I think would be able to get more out of that with Kyle Pittz. Janu was so good for the Fins, why? He was really good in the red zone, get eight touchdowns. He was awesome in the screen game. They ran so many like angle screens for him, just standard tight end screens. And he was a really good player yard after the catch. He’s actually a top five Yak tight end in the entire NFL. That has been widely noted. That’s why I thought he was going to have a breakout year in the Dolphin scheme, which he ev inevitably did. I’m not always right. I was right on Johnny Smith at least. I think the same thing could be said for Kyle Pittz. Wide catch radius, athletic, and for one thing, he did not get a lot of screens last year in Atlanta. Him doing that with Miami could really unlock another side of his production. You look at his receiving chart from 2024 in Atlanta. And there is a lot to take away here. Look at this. He was only targeted three times behind the line of scrimmage. Only three at or behind. You see, most of his work came between the line of scrimmage and 10 yards downfield with him having a very effective number in that 0 to 10 yard rate over the middle of the field. 29 targets, 23 catches, 226 yards with a 99.1 QB rating. And then you see how he was able to be effective in that secondary kind of range 10 to 20 yards where he did catch four for eight passes over that kind of range. Had a QB rating when target of 135.4. So Kyle Pittz is really really strong in between the numbers. You look at his overall numbers. Quick math here. 29 plus 8 37 plus 239. He caught 27. So 27 to 39 balls in between the numbers for a total of three touchdowns and about half of his yards on the season. More takeaways from this receiving chart. Look at that. I mentioned it. He only got three targets at or behind the line of scrimmage. He did not get any screens. I think he would be absolutely terrific in that role for Miami. I mentioned how often John Smith got screens in the red zone, in the middle of the field. I think Pittz would be able to just take that to another level potentially. I think Pitts is better than Jonnu Smith as an overall tight end, but also as a pure receiver and with I wouldn’t say the ball in his hands because Jonnu is really elite at that, but he would be able to do similar things, but also be more of a possession w uh tight end in the red zone and over the middle of the field. He’s great in that middle intermediate type of range. This is a player I think would really blow up in Miami. and when we talk more about a pitch trade coming up here in a second, we’ll look at what a Kyle Pittz trade could actually look like at this point in the offseason. But before we get into that, I do want to let the people know that this Dolphins Polo, Sweet Nike Gray Dolphins Polo, is on sale for $25, usually 65. Right now, you can get it for 40 at chatsports.com/mia Nike Polo. That link’s in the description and comments of today’s video. Some sizes are already running out, but they still got small, medium, large, extra large. Um, so get yours today. Check it out. chatsports.com/mia Nike Polo. Links in the description and comments of today’s video. When thinking about what a trade for Kyle Pitts would look like, I do think it’s very important to bring this up. As the current roster is constructed in Atlanta, that tight end room is really, really bad outside of Pitts. So yeah, I do think he could be available, but they would also need something to help out that room in return because Charlie Warner, Tegan Qutoraniano, Felipe Franks, and Nola Kalanick simply just aren’t good enough to be a tight end room. And if you just pluck Kyle Pittz off that room, that would then become the worst room in football. They could sign Gerald over it. They can go back and grab a Hayden Hson for a sure. But that is one point that I will make is that maybe they would not want to trade him at this point because who would they replace Kyle Pittz with? So in my pits trade idea for Miami, Miami lands obviously Kyle Pittz. The Dolphins give up a fourth round pick. I know it’s said by Schultz a month ago that it would require a day two pick to spark real conversations. I think a fourthrounder the first round obviously on day three could maybe get them interested when you’re also adding in a tight end as well to help replace Kyle Pitts. As crazy as it sounds, I think Pharaoh Brown would be the best tight end on their roster if you took Kyle Pittz off of it. So you give them their quote unquote tight end one. Maybe they sign a Gerald Everett and their room is now Pharaoh Brown and Everett. Is it the best room? I wouldn’t say it is. Um, but if they are serious about moving off of Kyle Pittz because they don’t plan on extending him or resigning him after this year, which is his final year of his rookie deal, well, maybe he could be on the outs. All right, final word on today’s show. It’s clear, I think, by the way I’ve talked about Pitts, I would love to make this trade, but I doubt it happens. I mean, it’s just as unrealistic, I think, that Atlanta actually ends up moving off of Kyle Pittz. I know there’s rumors out there, but I doubt it. And if you’re Miami, I know Chris Greer will prioritize adding a cornerback before adding another tight end. I think maybe they think about making a trade for a tight end if they get to training camp. They get to the preseason, see what Darren Waller still has left in him, and it’s like, “Oh Waller isn’t that good at this point. We don’t trust Farah Brown or Julian Hill.” And then maybe we go out and trade for a tight end. So, I could see one happening maybe closer to the season and in training camp, but before we get to that point in mid to late July, I think Chris Greer is going to absolutely prioritize adding a corner to help replace Jaylen Ramsay. And when a move happens, we will let you know about it on Twitter before we come on the channel and make a video and even go live. So, make sure you go give me a follow at nick_rolloff. [Music]
