He actually signed one

quote:

The #49ers & star TE George Kittle are in agreement on a 5-year, $75M extension, sources tell me & @MikeSilver, one that gives him more than half of it in guarantees. Language is being worked on, but numbers are there. One of their top players, this was a big-time priority ??????

Just reset the TE market, which has been probably the most underpaid positions in the league when you look at how valuable an elite TE is to an offense.

Gronk should have made this kind of $$ for years.

Yep. This is what Graham was fighting for

But Kittle is better in every way imaginable. He’s truly the best TE in football

Am I crazy or does Kittle only have 1 elite season?

Just looked it up, his 2018 season was elite too.

Obviously not paying much attention.

Graham has proven that he wasn’t worth what he got paid by the Saints considering he didn’t put up a significant percentage of the stats he did with Brees at any of his other stops.

Good pass catching TE, shite at blocking, and teams figured him out in part because of that.

“Elite too”

He only broke the yards record for TEs in 2018

Arik Gilbert is a guy that will make this.

Would love to see Darnell Washington do the same too.

In terms of my memory.

I guess SF was so shitty in 2018 I wasn’t paying attention.

Kittle may have had the best TE season ever from a receiver grade and blocking grade combo

Kittle deserves this. A truly elite 2-way TE.

He's definitely getting paid, could just mean the Friday date is wrong or the numbers are off.

Oh shut the frick up. He did exactly what Sean Payton drafted him for and he got hurt afterwards. He was an absolute monster for 4 years.

Kittle is light years a better blocker than Jimmy is but here's Kittle's 2nd and 3rd year numbers

85
1,053
12.4
5 tds


88
1,377
15.6
5 tds

And Jimmy's 2nd-5th years

85
889
10.5
10 tds

NO
86
1,215
14.1
16 tds

85
982
11.6
9 tds

99
1,310
13.2
11 tds

Kittle has a great chance at having a better overall career but Jimmy Graham, no doubt. But hes still got work to do.
