One site suggests the 49ers send Kittle and a fifth-round pick to the Los Angeles Chargers in exchange for a third-rounder (No. 86) and a fifth-rounder (No. 158). The Niners lose in that projected swap ... badly.

Kittle signed a five-year, $75 million contract extension with San Francisco in 2020 and is set to count for a $22 million cap hit during the 2025 campaign. General manager John Lynch told reporters earlier this offseason that the team wants Kittle to retire in a 49ers uniform.

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle called out reporter Dianna Russini for her "incorrect" reporting about his contract talks.
