Although it’s unclear what George Kittle’s newest contract will be, it’s almost surely going to be an extension with San Francisco. Kittle and 49ers management both have voiced their desire to get a deal done.
Kittle is vital to the 49er offense and might be the most important non-quarterback in the NFL. His All-Pro receiving and blocking make him one of a kind. As witnessed last season, it’s hard to generate offensive fluidity without Kittle on the field.
Despite the high likelihood that Kittle remains in Santa Clara for the foreseeable future, there will be doubt until pen is put to paper.
