The San Francisco 49ers have locked up their star tight end for the long term.
The 49ers announced Tuesday that they had signed George Kittle to a four-year contract extension. The full details of the deal—$76.4 million in total value with $40 million in guarantees—were initially broken by former NFL players Will Compton and Taylor Lewan of the Bussin' with the Boys podcast. Kittle, a fifth-round draft pick of the 49ers in 2017, is now on his third contract with the team.
