San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle said he believes he will continue his career until it feels no longer fun to play. "I don't know, I think if I get to 35 and it hurts to put pants on in the morning, I think I'll be like, 'Ah, this isn't that much fun anymore,' and I'll have a conversation with myself. But I'm feeling great right now," Kittle said.
Huddle Up: Kittle seems in no hurry to finish playing and will continue to be a big part of the 49ers passing game as long as he is in uniform. He should be a weekly starting option in all fantasy leagues.

San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle may receive more routes this upcoming season because the team can use TE Luke Farrell as a blocking tight end in two-tight end sets, according to general manager John Lynch.
Huddle Up: Kittle has been a key part of the passing game for the 49ers over a long period of time and could see more work since he will not be asked to block as often. He should be a weekly starting option in all fantasy leagues as long as he is healthy.

San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle participated in individual drills and some team drills during practice Thursday, May 29.
Huddle Up: Kittle does not need a lot of work this offseason to be ready for the season, so he likely will be a full participant once training camp begins. He will continue to be one of the most productive tight ends in the NFL in 2025 and will be a weekly starting option in fantasy leagues.

San Francisco 49ers TE Luke Farrell is expected to be used primarily as a blocking tight end, allowing the team to free up offensive threats such as RB Christian McCaffrey and TE George Kittle to run routes.
Huddle Up: Farrell's blocking ability explains why he was able to command a three-year, $15.75 million contract from the Niners in free agency despite having just 36 receptions for 318 yards and no touchdowns through his first four NFL seasons. While Farrell himself possesses very little fantasy value, his on-field presence should boost McCaffrey and Kittle's numbers, as long as both of them can remain healthy.

An unidentified NFL team expressed interest in trading for San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle approximately one week before he agreed to terms on a four-year, $76.4 million contract extension, according to a source. The 49ers were reportedly offered a second-round 2025 draft pick in exchange for Kittle.

San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle agreed to a four-year contract extension worth $76.4 million earlier this week, but not before an unnamed team reportedly offered the 49ers a second-round draft pick during the 2025 NFL Draft.
Huddle Up: There is a strong possibility we will learn who the mystery team was at some point in the months ahead, but all that matters is that the 31-year-old Kittle is still valued highly enough by the organization that they declined a solid offer. Kittle is now the highest-paid tight end in the league and should be in great shape to have another banner season as San Francisco looks for players to earn the touches and targets left behind by the trade of Deebo Samuel.

San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle agreed to a four-year, $76.4 million extension Tuesday, April 29. The deal includes $40 million guaranteed and makes him the highest-paid tight end in the league.
Huddle Up: Kittle was the TE3 in PPR leagues despite playing in 15 games and being banged up for a few more on a struggling team. That figures to be his basement in 2025.

Updating a previous report, San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle appeared at the team's facility for offseason conditioning Friday, April 25, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo. Both sides are continuing to discuss a contract extension.
Huddle Up: Kittle had been a no-show for the first few days of voluntary workouts. He is entering the final year of his current deal and is slated to earn a base salary of $14.4 million in 2025, although none of it is guaranteed. Despite a disappointing season for the 49ers overall last year, Kittle still managed to catch 94 passes for 1,108 yards and eight touchdowns over 15 games and should be one of the first few tight ends drafted in all fantasy formats.

San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle refuted a report that he failed to report to voluntary workouts because of his contract negotiations. The Athletic's Dianna Russini reported that Kittle wants to be the highest-paid TE in the NFL and that Kittle and the 49ers remain far apart in contract talks. Kittle tweeted out "Your source is incorrect."
Huddle Up: Kittle was the TE3 in fantasy despite playing in 15 games. He had a 94-1,106-8 line and figures to be a top-five TE again.

San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle did not report for the start of the offseason program on Tuesday, April 22.
Huddle Up: Kittle and the team are not close to agreeing to terms on a contract extension. He is entering the final year of his contract and is set to earn a $14.4 million base salary, but none of it is guaranteed. Trey McBride leads all NFL tight ends with a $19 million annual average, which is probably about what Kittle is asking for. It seems likely at this point that an extension for Kittle may not come until after the start of training camp.
