George Kittle is not in a voluntary practice of the 49ers of San Francisco (that is to say that he has no obligation to attend). You can take this for whatever you want.
Where some people have taken is that the tight end of the pro bowl holds the volunteer ota while looking for a new contract with the Niners. The strongest indication of this was a report of Dianna Russini of athletics, who reported on Wednesday This kit is the best paid end of the NFL.

Kittle replied on X, saying that the Russini source is incorrect.
Kittle is entering the last year of his contract, which holds a salary number of $ 22 million for the Niners. By Too thepapThe average annual value of $ 15 million in his contract fourth places him in the final position, the Cardinals star of Arizona, Trey McBride, leading the pack with Its $ 76 million agreement on the market ($ 19 million AAV).
Here's how Russini described the situation at the negotiating table:
Kittle wants to become the tight end of paid NFL, according to a league source. Trey McBride Reset the market earlier this off -season; The 25 -year -old heard a $ 76 million pact over four years with Arizona. The offers from San Francisco to Kittle have so far been postponed, and the two parties remain separate while Kittle, which will be 32 years old in October, enters the last year of its agreement. I am told that no request for trade has been made, but other teams keep an eye.
The niners have already made the richest richest kittle in the NFL once, like His current $ 75 million contract over five years was originally exceeded.
The 31-year-old Kitle won the honors of the second All-Pro team last year, which saw it display 1,106 reception yards, its highest total since its second year in display in 2018. In the past four years, Kittle has posted 3801 reception yards, the second plus among all the extremes tight behind Travis Kelce (which is a worse than Kittle). Its 31 receivers affects are also tied with Mark Andrews for the most among the tight ends.
