San Francisco 49ers tight -end George Kitle signed a four -year contract for up to $ 76.4 million to become the highest paid player in the position.
General Manager John Lynch confirmed the agreement on Tuesday morning. He reported multiple output financial components.
“In 2017, our first year with 49ers, we chose a tight end. We had a tight end. We had high hopes, but nobody knew it would be a player today.” He said. “George’s leadership, the enthusiasm for the game, the enthusiasm for his teammates, and those who are loyal are really unique and special. It is an extraordinary representation for the 49ers on the field and is an extraordinary representative of the organization with its investment in local and military communities. He has a great sense of pride in his role and has worked as one of the best endings in NFL.”
More than one report said Kittle’s new agreement is guaranteed 40 million dollars and would connect the 31 -year -old child to the team in the 2029 season. He was entering the last season of an agreement he signed in 2020.
Podcast “Busin and Men” first reported the 19.1 million dollar contract Arizona Cardinals star Trey McBride (19 million dollars per season) for the first time.
Kitle released his fourth career in 2024 and released 1,000 yards and caught 78 passes and eight points in 15 games.
Two times the All-Pro and the Six Pro Bowl selection have a reception and 45 touches in 113 matches (105 starters) since San Francisco has prepared it in the fifth round of Iowa in 2017.
When Kits is now under the contract, 49ers will probably return to a new agreement with the gamers Brock Purdy.
25 -year -old Purdy enters the last season of the rookie contract and is looking for a long -term extension as a franchise player. The salary limit for 2025 is 5.37 million dollars.
Purdy, the last player selected in the 2022 NFL Draft, has a record of 23-13 as a start as a starting starting 67.5 percent of the transitions for 64 TDs with 9,518 yard and 27 interventions.
