After San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle signed a record-breaking contract, it was only a matter of time. For President of Football Operations and General Manager John Lynch, it was a matter of time.

Kittle, who led San Francisco in receiving yards in 2024, has been a six-time Pro Bowl selection over eight seasons.

Kittle is a year older (31) than Goedert (30), yet received a new extension that keeps him tied to the 49ers for essentially the duration of his career. That isn't likely to happen in Philadelphia for Goedert as he's entering the final year of his deal.
