49ers' George Kittle looking for more than top TE money

George Kittle and the San Francisco 49ers haven't made much progress on a new contract, with his agent saying he is looking for more than a deal that makes Kittle the highest-paid tight end in the NFL.

"I don't care about the tight end market," Kittle's agent, Jack Bechta, told NFL Network. "I'm being paid to do a George Kittle deal."

Kittle, 26, is set to make $735,000 in 2020 on the final year of his rookie contract.

This offseason, Austin Hooper signed the largest contract -- four years, $42 million with the Cleveland Browns -- for a tight end, while the Los Angeles Chargers' Hunter Henry is set to make the most money this year, $10,607,000 on the franchise tag.

But Kittle appears to be aiming higher. The top-paid wide receivers, like the Atlanta Falcons' Julio Jones and Dallas Cowboys' Amari Cooper, are making $20 million per season or more, while the top 10 non-quarterback skill position players average at least $16 million.

NFL Network reported that Kittle's side and the 49ers engaged in preliminary negotiations in February but that they haven't talked for the past few months, though that could be due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Last month, general manager John Lynch said the 49ers plan to keep Kittle around for the long term.

"George isn't going anywhere. We're going to work hard to try to get it done," Lynch told KGMZ-FM 95.7 The Game. "I think they've got motivation just to reset the tight end market, as do we for him. It's just finding that sweet spot, where that is. ... When that happens, I don't know. But we're working hard, as are they, to try to make that happen. George is going to be a part of the 49ers for a long, long time."

Business Software Must Get Out Of The Way Of Digital Transformation

The data contained in your business system has always been a precious asset. We’re now in a time when changes in the way business is conducted mean that this data must be combined with other sources to make it more useful — driving new insights, automating transactions and creating net new business models. In short, we have the buzzword that launched a thousand worries: digital transformation. I work with many organizations leading the charge toward digital transformation and note that each of their business models relies heavily not just on their own proprietary data held in their system of record, but also data from third-party sources, connected devices and their vendors’ and customers’ systems.
