George Kittle Signs Record $76.4M Deal to Stay with 49ers

📣 Big Win for the 49ers: George Kittle Secures Long-Term Deal

Star tight end George Kittle has officially committed to staying with the San Francisco 49ers after agreeing to a 4-year contract extension last Friday. This massive move marks a major win for the team as they lock in one of their most dynamic playmakers.

💸 Contract Details: A Record-Breaking Deal

• Total Value: $76.4 million

• Guaranteed Money: $40 million

• Most lucrative tight end deal in NFL history in terms of total value and yearly average

The deal comes just days after reports suggested that both sides were far apart in negotiations. Kittle had initially skipped the first few days of voluntary workouts, signaling a potential holdout. However, his surprise return to the 49ers’ facility last Friday gave fans hope—and clearly, it helped move talks forward.

🔄 From Uncertainty to Agreement

At the start of last week, things didn’t look promising. But Kittle’s presence at the team’s offseason conditioning program sparked momentum, leading to a breakthrough in contract discussions.

If he completes the full length of this deal, Kittle will have spent an impressive 13 seasons with the 49ers.

🧠 What This Means for the 49ers

• 🧩 Securing one of the NFL’s top TEs stabilizes the offense

• 💥 Removes a major offseason distraction

• 🚀 Clears the way to focus on a new deal for QB Brock Purdy, who is next in line for an extension

🔍 What’s Next?

With Kittle’s deal wrapped up, attention now shifts to the team’s rising star quarterback Brock Purdy, who is expected to begin talks for his own contract extension soon.
