Kittle, Buckner, Armstead headline 49ers’ contracts to watch in 2020

It’s time to follow the 49ers’ money in terms of how their 2020 roster takes shape. Look for early signals as they meet with agents at the scouting combine in Indianapolis later this month. Here are 10 contract situations to watch:

Error 0:

Kittle is not your normal tight end. He has No. 1-receiver production for catches and yards, so does he get wide receiver money?
