OverTheCap.com has some of George Kittle's contract extension details. The new deal kicks in after the upcoming season. The San Francisco 49ers tight end's salary of $2.133 million remains for 2020. After that, though, the Niners actually see a little bit of savings. That's because the deal was negotiated with 2021's salary-cap uncertainty in mind.

The coronavirus pandemic's impact on the upcoming season is expected to drop revenue significantly, and will likely result in the salary cap actually falling next year. By how much remains to be seen, but no one is expecting the regular increases the league has recently enjoyed from year to year.


After 2021 is when Kittle starts to earn the bulk of his new money.
