San Francisco’s football darling George Kittle has once again proven why he’s the golden child of the 49ers, snagging a jaw-dropping contract extension that’ll make other tight ends weep into their protein shakes.

From Draft Pick to Dollar Signs

Kittle, the 31-year-old tight end who was plucked from Iowa in 2017, has transformed from a “skinny tight end” to an absolute football machine. His latest deal? A cool $76.4 million over four years, with $35 million guaranteed at signing. Talk about leveling up your financial game.

Breaking Records Like They’re Going Out of Style

With this contract, Kittle becomes the highest-paid tight end in NFL history, trumping the previous record set by Trey McBride. His stats are no joke: five-time All-Pro, six Pro Bowls, and four seasons with over 1,000 receiving yards. This guy isn’t just playing football; he’s rewriting the playbook.

The 49ers’ Golden Boy

General Manager John Lynch couldn’t contain his excitement, praising Kittle’s leadership and community involvement. From dominating on the field to supporting local and military communities, Kittle is living proof that athletes can be more than just muscular entertainment. As the 49ers continue to negotiate Brock Purdy’s contract, one thing’s clear: in the Bay Area, football is more than a sport – it’s a lifestyle.
