Based on the fact that Pitts and Watson share an agent, the tweet was construed as a hint that Watson could be heading to Atlanta soon. No clarification has been released regarding a potential move to the Falcons.

However, Pitts later added that he was referring to the news that the Falcons were signing Casey Hayward, which was announced around the same time as Pitts’s initial tweet.
