This according to CSNBaltimore.com's Clifton Brown, who was quick to add the Ravens hope that never happens. They are trying to sign Pitta to a long-term deal before the March 3 deadline to use the franchise tag. However, using the franchise tag on Pitta will almost certainly prompt him to challenge his designation. .. Meanwhile, the Falcons lost future Hall of Fame tight end Tony Gonzalez, who has retired and taken a television job with CBS. As Clifton suggests, Pitta in the middle of an offense that include wide receivers Roddy White and Julio Jones, catching passes from Matt Ryan, would be a nice look. The Packers are uncertain about the future of Jermichael Finley, after a serious neck injury last season. New England's Rob Gronkowski has been plagued by injuries, and the Patriots need to upgrade their receiving corps. All in all, Pitta shouldn't have any trouble finding work if the Ravens don't pay up.
