George Kittle hasn't been the center of attention during the early part of the team's offseason, but he's expected to take on a more central role as time moves on.

The San Francisco 49ers will likely part ways with at least one key member from the core of their teams that went to two Super Bowls and four NFC championship games in five years. The 49ers are expected to trade wide receiver Deebo Samuel this offseason and fullback Kyle Juszczyk could become a cap casualty as the team looks to rebound from a disappointing 6-11 season in 2024 and retool to become contenders again.

San Francisco 49ers GM John Lynch expressed his thoughts on a contract extension for George Kittle, who will be entering the season in the final year of his contract.
