George Kittle is staying in San Francisco and making history in the process. The All-Pro tight end announced on the “Bussin’ With The Boys” podcast that he has agreed to a four-year extension worth $76.4 million, with $35 million guaranteed at signing.
The 49ers later confirmed the deal, which cements Kittle as the highest-paid tight end ever in National Football League (NFL) history. Now 31, Kittle was entering the final year of his previous five-year, $75 million deal signed in 2020. Speculation around a new agreement intensified when he briefly skipped voluntary workouts before returning later in the week, a move that signaled progress behind the scenes.
The 49ers officially announced the contract extension for George Kittle, who remains the lone player from the team’s original 2017 draft class under head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch. “In 2017, our first year with the 49ers, we selected a skinny tight end from Iowa whom we were really excited about. We had high hopes, but no one knew that he would become the player that he is today,” Lynch said.
“George’s leadership, enthusiasm for the game, for his teammates, and the faithful are truly unique and special. He is an outstanding representation for the 49ers on the field and is an outstanding representative for the organization off the field with his investment in the local and military communities. He has a great sense of pride in his role and has put in the work to be one of the best tight ends in the NFL.
