The San Francisco 49ers have one of the best players on their roster in George Kittle. His contract ends after the 2020 season and it’s imperative the 49ers sign him before it’s too late.

It’s rare to find mid-to-late-round gems in the NFL Draft. The San Francisco 49ers found a steal when they selected tight end George Kittle in the fifth round back in 2017. Kittle signed a four-year deal and it’s set to expire after the 2020 season.

There’s a strong chance whenever the 49ers decide to offer Kittle a contract, he becomes the leagues’ highest-paid tight end.
