Kurtenbach: Why 49ers star George Kittle won’t land the massive contract he wants

By the time George Kittle’s rookie contract with the 49ers expires at the end of this (hopefully) upcoming season, he’ll have made a total of a little over $4 million in four years from the defending NFC Champions.

On his next deal, he’s looking for five times that total, annually.

This is a modal window.

The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported.

But I don’t think the 49ers are going to pay it, because they have a secret weapon in the negotiation.
