Kittle also revealed his desire for the NFL to add a second bye week for NFL teams.
"Seventeen games is a lot," Kittle told Hart. "It's a lot of games with one bye, whether it's Week 4 or the bye is Week 11. I'm advocating for two byes. If you can get that to happen, that would be cool."
Hart assured the tight end that it was a done deal. Kittle also cleverly avoided any quarterback discussion.
