George Kittle, the most prolific tight end in 49ers’ history, has secured a four-year extension ahead of his ninth season.

The 49ers and George Kittle put an end to a week of simmering contract drama and inked a record-breaking four-year extension.

After negotiations between the 49ers organization and Kittle's representatives, San Francisco signed the tight end to a four-year, $76.4 million deal. Kittle's wife, Claire Kittle, responded to the news on social media, sharing a few photos after the exciting announcement.
