If we can get 2 firsts like the Jets did for Adams. I say just do it like Nike.

Nah, Sus, George is staying here. With Nicky B he is one of the 3 pillars of the team. Giedi, above had a really nice post . Whatever it is and however it gets arranged, Kittle will be a fixture here for long haul. Just an opinion
I don't think Kittle will be traded. Kyle and Kittle are a lot smarter than the average football and coach player. They know they need each other. Personally, the Jamal Adams draft value is just the beginning of trade talks for me. I'd want another 2nd in addition to the two firsts and then (If I were Kyle) then I'd actually take it seriously.
Kittle provides not only football production, but he's also a role model, also a leader - pushing his other teammates to do better (almost like a coach on the field), and you can't replicate his existing chemistry with Jimmy very easily. That would take a year or two at least. He's also a leader from a winning culture point of view. On top of that, he's a great face for the 49ers, and one that kind of balances what Sherminator does from his side of the ball. This is important because he can draw and recruit other potential free agents to the 49ers, so his value is many dimensions beyond being just a football player.
Kittle isn't going anywhere, anyone who thinks he should or would be traded are crazy.
