Sticking in the NFC South, the Steelers have reached out to another team about a potential trade fro a star pass-catcher.<\/p>\n<p id=\"TCukmQ\">Per Ian Rapoport, the Steelers made a phone call to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thefalcoholic.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Atlanta Falcons<\/a> to discuss a potential trade for tight end Kyle Pitts. <\/p>\n<p id=\"kGJP4j\">\u201cThey\u2019ve inquired about some other weapons,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/steelersdepot.com\/2025\/06\/rapoport-steelers-made-phone-call-to-falcons-for-te-kyle-pitts\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Rapoport said<\/a> on Good Morning Football. \u201cAnd I know we\u2019re talking about receivers [and] some good pass-catchers\/ They\u2019ve had their eyes on some tight ends, too&#8230; Kyle Pitts, there was a phone call made there&#8230;\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"XWeulz\">Of course, Pitts played for Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith when Smith was the head coach in Atlanta. He was a Pro Bowler as a rookie in 2021, but is coming off a year in which he caught just 47 passes. While the Steelers already have Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington, using Pitts as more of a slot receiver rather than a traditional tight end, similarly to how they would likely use Jonnu Smith, would make more sense for the offense rather than pushing Washington down the depth chart.<\/p>\n<p id=\"F5HKFs\">We\u2019ll see if a trade comes to be, but it\u2019s clear the Steelers are hunting for another playmaker.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Pittsburgh Steelers finally know that Aaron Rodgers will be their quarterback in 2025, but they still have&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":103406,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2074],"tags":[1859,2632,223,254,2554,2371,809,2373,224,7,23,29,28074,6,520,2374,1259,2372,426,714,24,102],"class_list":{"0":"post-111405","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-atlanta-falcons","8":"tag-about","9":"tag-another","10":"tag-atlanta","11":"tag-atlanta-falcons","12":"tag-atlantafalcons","13":"tag-behind","14":"tag-bowl","15":"tag-curtain","16":"tag-falcons","17":"tag-football","18":"tag-for","19":"tag-front-page","20":"tag-inquiring","21":"tag-nfl","22":"tag-pittsburgh","23":"tag-pittsburgh-steelers-news","24":"tag-pro","25":"tag-steel","26":"tag-steelers","27":"tag-te","28":"tag-the","29":"tag-trade"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114642608612548234","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/111405","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=111405"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/111405\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/103406"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=111405"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=111405"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=111405"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
