As the San Francisco 49ers focus on offseason strategies, extending tight end George Kittle's contract emerges as a critical priority. Kittle expressed his wish to finish his career with the team, emphasizing his value as a four-time All-Pro, especially with quarterback Brock Purdy facilitating a resurgence in his performance. Despite initial concerns about Kittle's productivity as he approached his 30s, he has maintained impressive receiving yards and touchdowns under Purdy, solidifying his role as both a pass-catcher and a top-tier blocker in the NFL.
For the 49ers it's a no-brainer to extend the TE they selected in the fifth round of the 2017 draft, particularly since they don't have an heir-apparent.
Kittle's value has never been higher with quarterback Brock Purdy under center... in the last two years Purdy has helped Kittle return to form as a reliable playmaker.
Kittle told Kay Adams... that he'd like to spend the rest of his career with San Francisco, and given his contributions..., it would behoove them to ensure they're keeping the four-time All-Pro around.
His 15.7 yards per reception in 2023 were a career-high, and his 14.2 yards per reception in 2024 were the third-best mark of his career.
