George Kittle News
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (calf) is expected to miss all of OTAs. Head coach Kyle Shanahan mentioned that Kittle will likely be shut down until the beginning of training camp. Last season, Kittle missed three weeks with a calf strain and never fully recovered. The 49ers want their three-time Pro Bowl tight end back to 100 percent before the beginning of next season. They also signed Tyler Kroft to add some depth at tight end, but don't expect him to take away targets from Kittle.
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle said it's a toss-up for him when it comes to who he prefers as the starting quarterback in 2022 between second-year signal-caller Trey Lance and veteran Jimmy Garoppolo. "That's the million-dollar question, isn't it?" Kittle said. "That's one reason I'm glad I'm not the head coach of the 49ers. That's all on coach Shanahan. I'll give you both ways. Jimmy G, awesome in the huddle, great leader, directs guys. People go to attention when he's talking. He's got a quick release, he knows the offense. Like I said, been to two NFC Championship games, knows what he's doing. Trey Lance can run, extend plays, does all the play-action stuff incredible, could throw the ball 70 yards. I don't know. It's a toss-up for me." Garoppolo's recovery from offseason surgery will go a long way in deciding whether he's traded before training camp this summer.
The San Francisco 49ers restructured the contract of tight end George Kittle on Wednesday. San Francisco created $18.756 million in cap space. He signed a five-year, $75 million extension with the 49ers in August 2020, and most of his base salary was converted to a bonus to clear up cap space. The 28-year-old racked up 71 catches for 910 yards and six touchdowns over 14 games in 2021. He will provide the No. 3 pick in 2021 NFL Draft quarterback Trey Lance another talented pass-catching option. Kittle is expected to be one of the top tight ends off the board in upcoming fantasy drafts in 2022.
