The San Francisco 49ers and George Kittle agreed to terms on a contract extension that will make the six-time Pro Bowl selection the highest-paid tight end in the NFL, as Kittle told Bussin' With The Boys on Tuesday. The news was confirmed by ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The deal is worth $76.4 million and spans four years. It includes $40 million guaranteed. In terms of both total value and average annual value ($19.1 million per year), Kittle is now the highest-paid at his position, surpassing Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride.
