George Kittle Expects Brandon Aiyuk with 49ers to Start 2024 Season amid Trade Rumors

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle believes that wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk will remain with the team this season despite his current contract dispute and trade rumors.

"I'm not concerned about it," Kittle told the NFL Network's Rich Eisen on his show (25-minute mark). "Aiyuk's a phenomenal football player who's a big part of our offense, and he's one of the most complete receivers I've ever played with, so I'm going to assume that he's going to be on our team by the time the season starts."

Eisen first asked Kittle what he would tell fans who ask whether Aiyuk is going to be in San Francisco this year, leading to the answer.
