Kyle Pitts

I think if he goes to an Mcvay/Shanny/ or if McDaniels stays in Miami type offense he could work as a Nacua/Jennings type.
It still takes putting in the effort though.

We can't afford to pay him and kittle top 5 money at the same time

I forgot where the article originated - but I liked the idea of possibly bringing in Alec Pierce or Wandale Robinson next year.

Isaiah Likely is a more realistic option. Coming off a down year he could be a nice short term bargain.

Pitts is who McVay thought we were taking when we moved up.

Top 5 TE Money is like 17M a year. That's less than Jennings is going to get.

It's better to pay top TE money than above average WR money.

How many games will Kittle miss next year. Different year same story. Most expensive players WILL miss several games again.

A nice innovation would be pairing him WITH David Njoku, and going 3 TE when Kittle comes back. The rams attack Seattle with 3 TE sets and that trio would be amazing

Thats going to be like 50% of your cap in the tight end room. Nobody doing that.

especially if we pretty much use him as a WR which i think would be the plan with him

What if it was the same? Do you take Pitts over Jennings

that is tough but i think i would the only reason for that is i think it would be easier to replace a WR like Jennings than it is to get a top 5 receiving TE in the NFL. I am also thinking of all the mismatches late in season with Kittle and Pitts but if we do get Pitts we need a heacy investment in draft at WR because we are drafting essentially unknowns to be a key contributor

A perfect offseason for me is getting Doubbs and Pitts on the offensive end. Then in draft we just maybe need 1 WR with what we already have (likely a slot guy) and we can continue our rebuild of our D in draft

Pitts and Tyreke Hill would be wild.
