The 49ers and George Kittle put an end to a week of simmering contract drama and inked a record-breaking four-year extension.

George Kittle agreed to a four-year contract extension with the San Francisco 49ers that will make him the highest-paid tight end in NFL history.

The San Francisco 49ers, one of the Cardinals' NFC West rivals, and tight end George Kittle agreed to a deal that tops that. McBride's extension was four years for $76 million, an average of $19 million per year with $43 million guarantees and $32.5 million guaranteed at signing.
