Pitts mainly plays off the line of scrimmage, and Pittman has been a big bodied WR, who mainly plays the middle of the field.
The top 5 TE's are earning between $15-19m a year, which is a lot less than what Pittman is projected to earn going forward.
If we had a receiving corps of Pierce, Downs, Pitts and Warren with Dulin, Gould, maybe Coleman Owen a mid round receiver, or mid level free agent pickup, i would be quite content that this would be something that Steichen could make work really well, for a lot less cap costs.

I like the concept...if Pitts is a willing and capable blocker.
