George Kittle Rumors: 49ers, TE Have 'Significant Disconnect' over New Contract

There is reportedly a "pretty significant disconnect" between the San Francisco 49ers and tight end George Kittle amid ongoing contract talks.

NFL Network's Michael Silver said Friday that the Niners want to "reset the tight end market" and give Kittle a huge tight end deal, but Kittle views himself as more than just a tight end:

There's a disconnect between @gkittle46 and the @49ers and if that doesn't change soon, I wonder whether he might consider an extreme measure. @nflnetwork @wyche89 https://t.co/pjuWn2mvZC

Kittle is set to make just $2.
