San Francisco 49ers fans can rest easy knowing that the heart and soul of their favorite team, tight end George Kittle, will remain with the organization for the foreseeable future. Signing Kittle was a priority entering the offseason, and San Francisco finally accomplished that on Thursday, according to Ian Rapoport and Mike Silver of NFL Network.
The 49ers and Kittle agreed to a five-year extension reportedly worth $75 million. Half of that total will come as guarantees. The average annual salary of $15 million officially makes him the highest-paid tight end in football by a significant margin.
