49ers tight end George Kittle was pleased that he was able to work out a new contract with the team without a prolonged negotiation and his good feelings about the offseason extend beyond his own situation.
Kittle missed a little of the team’s voluntary work before the deal came together, but quarterback Brock Purdy and linebacker Fred Warner have been present as they work toward contracts of their own. Kittle said that Purdy’s presence specifically is “just good for our team chemistry” as they integrate a number of new faces into the team.
“I’m happy that we don’t have a bunch of guys holding out for contracts,” Kittle said, via Jennifer Lee Chan of NBCSportsBayArea.
