It’s been a relatively drama-free offseason for the San Francisco 49ers, especially when it came to re-signing some of their key players.
The 49ers agreed to extensions with stars Brock Purdy, Fred Warner, and George Kittle before the month of June, representing a significant change from past contract negotiations, which usually got done around the start of training camp or near the regular season.
Kittle was the first to get his deal, resetting the tight end market with a four-year, $76.4 million deal that slightly eclipsed Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride. That deal was agreed to in late April after the 2025 NFL Draft, with Kittle earning $35 million in guaranteed money.
