Kittle deserves to be highest paid TE but I also think it's funny the Kittles clutched their pearls when Juice was released. I don't expect them to look at the cap as a whole but it's all intertwined

How dare you, sir! Are you saying that in a salary capped world that Juice's money is now going to be George's money!?!??!

You sexy b*****d.
Love seeing reporters get called out by players for spreading misinformation

George was sitting about 20 rows in front of me all weekend in Las Vegas. I am sure he will report soon. He was just busy living it up!

They have no sources. They make it all up. Publications like The Athletic are responsible for this. It's why The Athletic will never, EVER get a dime of my money. I will not pay for lies. That is all The Athletic prints. Lies. However, they are not the only outlet that condones this "sources say" BS. Others do the same thing. Never forget the Golden Rule: SOURCES SAY = I MADE IT UP.

Kittle is our goat TE dude is such a beast both on the field off the field and in the locker room. He didn't have to say anything but absolutely love how he put a reputable nfl reporter on blast with a few words. That being said he likely will be and should be the top TE paid

Of course they do. Their sources just aren't as reliable sometimes, or they aren't that higher up in the chain. Also a lot of the times agents are the sources, and they constantly work through the media.

No common sense reason the 49ers should pay kittle.

Are you even a fan of this team? Asking cuz it feels like every post of yours is negativity and everyone/everything sucks.

Kittle is one of the only players last year who didn't regress from the season prior. He's the best TE in the game and a critical part of our offense.

He's going to be 32 this year. Kelce is going to be 36 this year. Nobody complained when the Chiefs extended him before last season.

Tony Gonzalez played til 37. Antonio Gates played until he was 38. Jason Witten played until he was 38(tho he did retire temporarily at 36).

Gronk retired early but it was because he didn't want to keep playing, not because he couldn't.

Kittle is not only a pivotal piece of the offense but he's also the heartbeat of it.

Hes old! Why pay him?
cuz he's been so good for so long……
get outta here with that. Get rid of him while he is still good. You'll get more for him. You are the most emotional moderator here bro. Do you want the team to get better?
you cut bait while the player is still good, you know, like the 9ers dld with Ronnie Lott. Jerry rice. Joe Montana. Those players were way better than kittle and they let them go. I'm a 49er fan, not a kittle or Brock fan. Whatever makes sense to get this team back in the post season and this makes the most sense. You don't pay an old TE, especially when you've gotten burned doing the same at other positions. It's a friggin business.

He's gonna make $14 million next season. Make the old guy play out his contract and then let him go get a payday somewhere else. I don't want the 49ers extending a 32 or 33 year old TE when we have a ton of other needs.

Soo...get rid of one of the top 5 players on the team, regardless of position, because we have other needs?

I get the age deal. But we arent going ti get better by bouncing Kittle. We'd get better by drafting and developing players that would push Kittle down the chart of top players. Drafting and developing those guys and extending Kittle can happen at the same time. We havent even proven we can develop tight ends and you are advocating for letting a HOF tight end go?

We traded Montana because we had Steve Young. We let Rice walk because we had Owens. Now Ronnie Lott's replacement, eh. But 2 for 3 is pretty good. Who is replacing Kittle?

Our 11th pick in the draft if he falls to us. More enhance offense than replace Kittle. I'd be super thrilled and prey the balance of picks can cover OL and DL.

There is no offensive player at 11 good enough for us to not renew Kittle. There isn't a TE that has come into the league since 2017 that is his equal. Should've been 1st team All Pro again if you look at his numbers. It's crazy talk to just let him go.
Kittle is the one you pay, Aiyuk is the one you trade. 49ers goofed.
Dear Paraag. If for any reason George is not playing for the Niners this season, we will come for you. Nico Harrison will tell you that you've f'd up and better not lose our guy. s**t, I'm coming for Jed too if this goes wrong.

Love the guy and the memories but it's time to stop over paying for old guys.

This. This is a move where my faith in the front office would be shaken if they traded Kittle. I've never been one of the we should've never traded Buckner folks, but it would be similar- rewarding inferior guys while trading your best.
