Franchise Tag Narrows Patriots’ Tight End Options

The Falcons are expected to franchise-tag Kyle Pitts, removing the top tight end option from free agency and narrowing the Patriots’ pursuit at the position. With Austin Hooper set to hit unrestricted free agency, New England currently has Hunter Henry, C.J. Dippre, and Marshall Lang under contract for 2026, leaving room to target other available tight ends such as Cade Otton, Isaiah Likely, Charlie Kolar, or Chigoziem Okonkwo, while Fant, Njoku, and Goedert are not on the market.

Pitts, a 2021 top-5 pick, posted a strong 2025 season (88 catches, 928 yards, 5 TDs) and now the team has until July 15 to work out a multi-year deal, keeping him in Atlanta after Matt Ryan moved into an executive role.

Falcons franchise tag Kyle Pitts to keep star TE in Atlanta

The Atlanta Falcons plan to use the franchise tag on tight end Kyle Pitts to prevent him from hitting free agency, with a 2026 tag value around $16.3 million and the possibility of a long-term deal later. Pitts, who has evolved into a productive receiver (88 catches, 928 yards, 5 TDs in 2025), is seen as a core piece for a Falcons offense under the new regime, which aims to keep him in Atlanta while negotiating a multi-year contract by the July 15 deadline.
