Pitts sets the market Detroit must face The Atlanta Falcons just changed the tight end economy. They signed Kyle Pitts to a three-year, $54 million extension with $36 million guaranteed. It is the richest three-year deal ever for an NFL tight end. That number immediately matters to the Detroit Lions and Sam LaPorta. Recent comps drive negotiations. The Detroit Lions Podcast digs into what this means. By annual average value, George Kittle and McBride sit at the top tier. Pitts now lands at $16 million per year. The next band is where Detroit will hunt comps for LaPorta: Isaiah Likely at three years and $40 million with $26 million guaranteed, Mark Andrews at roughly $13.9 million per year, Dalton Schultz at $12.6 million, and Cole Kmet at $12.5 million. As much as Detroit likes LaPorta, he has been roughly in that neighborhood with Kmet. Will he take that number to stay in Detroit? Expect him to aim higher after the Pitts deal. Usage and value in Detroit's offense Context matters. McBride earned heavy usage in Drew Petzing's system in Arizona. That led many to assume a similar spike for LaPorta under Petzing in Detroit. It could happen, but the situations are different. McBride was the best player on that offense. In Detroit, LaPorta is not even the third-best offensive piece. Jahmyr Gibbs and Penei Sewell are central pillars. Jameson Williams offers higher peak plays even if the week-to-week is still building. That distribution of talent can cap volume and, in turn, price. LaPorta brings real value beyond catches. His blocking stacks up well, better than Pitts in this discussion. Pitts also aligns outside as a receiver often, while LaPorta plays a more traditional tight end role. Those distinctions will surface in negotiations as both sides frame what they are paying for. Numbers, guarantees, and timing A practical floor sits around Likely's deal: three years, $40 million, $26 million guaranteed. A target from the player side could be three years, $50 million with $35 million guaranteed. A logical counter from the team lands near three years, $48 million at $16 million per year. With the Lions, guarantees are the meat. Expect creative structure with void years to spread cap hits. That is how Detroit handles these mid-length veteran deals. Health will guide the calendar. LaPorta is working back from the back injury that ended last season. He was on the field last week but not yet full go. The staff also wants Brian Branch healthy and contributing. If that holds, do not expect an immediate extension. Training camp will be the first checkpoint. A more natural window sits near the bye or toward the end of summer. September 21 feels like a soft boundary. By then, Detroit should know LaPorta's role and output in Petzing's offense. The hard choice no one wants One prevailing viewpoint around the league is that if Detroit must let someone walk among pending extension candidates, tight end is the easiest to replace. That argument has merit on roster-building grounds. Even so, the intent is to keep LaPorta. Pitts' new deal just sharpened the pencil. Now the Lions must decide how far they will go to match it. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #samlaportacontract #kylepittsextension #tightendmarket #lionscontracts #overthecap #treymcbride Learn more about your ad choices.

The crew (Rich Dotson, Matt O'Hara, and Garret Price) sits down for a rankings debate, picking out players where at least one of them lands far from the other two and from ADP consensus. It is an honest look at how three analysts can value the same player very differently in Superflex tight end premium formats, and why those gaps exist. Listen to This Episode: Apple Podcasts Spotify YouTube The debate opens with CJ Stroud, where Rich defends a much higher ranking based on Superflex quarterback scarcity before talking himself closer to the group. Emeka Egbuka sparks a real divide, with Matt going all in on the early season breakout while Garret stays cautious about the Tampa Bay target tree behind Mike Evans. The conversation turns to Kenneth Walker, with Rich betting on a clean Kansas City workload and double digit touchdowns in a thin running back market. They close on Kyle Pitts, whose tight end premium value as a former top finisher makes him a dealmaker the crew refuses to let slip in drafts. Pressure test these takes against our Dynasty Rankings.

92.9 The Game Atlanta Falcons Reporter Joe Patrick speaks about being frustrated with the commentary around the Falcons QB competition, what he learned talking to QB Coach Alex Van Pelt, next contract discussion to be held, when an update on James Pearce Jr. may be provided, and Kyle Pitts being used more in a variety of ways.
HR2 - Kyle Pitts doing everything possible to ensure his contract year is his best year In hour two Grant McAuley, filling in for Mike Johnson, Ali Mac, and Beau Morgan quickly touch on some of the biggest headlines around the local and national sports scene, recap and react to the New York Knicks' 107-106 win over the San Antonio Spurs in Game 4 of the NBA Finals last night, which featured the Knicks rallying from a 29-point deficit, and a game winning tip-in shot by Knicks forward OG Anunoby in the final seconds of the game. Grant, Ali, and Beau also react to and talk about an article written by 92.9 The Game's own Garrett Chapman where he talks about a conversation that he had with Atlanta Falcons Tight End Coach Kevin Koger where Koger highlights a specific moment and meeting that he and Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts had that came just before Pitts' breakout finish last season, and explain why they think Kyle is putting himself in position to have a big season and also putting himself in position to get a big pay day. Then Ali tests Grant's and Beau's knowledge with some Throwback Thursday Trivia for the halftime portion of the show! The Morning Shift crew also continues to recap and react to the Atlanta Braves losing to the Chicago White Sox 2-1 last night in Chicago in Game two of their three game series, talk about the Braves losing their third series of the season with their loss to the White Sox last night, react to the Braves placing their star right fielder and leadoff hitter Ronald Acuña Jr. on the 10-day injured list with a strained left hamstring, react to the Braves also placing right handed relief pitcher Tyler Kinley on the 15-day injured list, backdated to June 8, with right elbow inflammation, explain why they think Acuña Jr.'s slow start, low numbers, and lack of production this season is due to bad luck and injuries, and then close out hour two by reacting to the latest news, rumors, and reports in the NFL as they go In The Huddle!
The three hosts (Rich Dotson, Matt O'Hara, and Garret Price) answer listener requests and run a full one quarterback startup mock draft, walking through every pick and the strategy behind it. It is a fun, format specific blueprint for anyone tired of Superflex content and ready to build a 1QB roster the right way. Listen to This Episode: Apple Podcasts Spotify YouTube With quarterback value pushed down, the crew loads up on skill players early. Jahmyr Gibbs, Bijan Robinson, and Ja'Marr Chase come off the board first, while Garret grabs Brock Bowers as his unicorn tight end and pairs him later with Christian McCaffrey for a clear win now build. Matt anchors his team with Josh Allen and CeeDee Lamb, then adds Kyle Pitts for upside. Rich plays quarterback chicken, waiting until the late rounds to land Dak Prescott and Trevor Lawrence after stacking Quinton Judkins, Colston Loveland, and Tee Higgins. The trio shows how patience at the position opens the door to receivers like Brian Thomas and Ladd McConkey who carry real trade value.
