However, they were able to lock up star tight end George Kittle and quarterback Brock Purdy to new long-term contract extensions. Kittle will be asked to step up in a big way during the upcoming 2025 season.

Brock Purdy got a new contract this week, but 49ers tight end George Kittle said that the quarterback didn't wait for the ink to dry on that agreement before making a noticeable change to the way he carries himself around the team facility.

George Kittle has caught passes from a long list of quarterbacks since the San Francisco 49ers drafted him in 2017—names like Brian Hoyer, Nick Mullens, Jimmy Garoppolo, and now, Brock Purdy.
