San Francisco 49ers star tight end George Kittle took to social media to refute reports that his absence from voluntary workouts was contract-related.

George Kittle's contract talks with the San Francisco 49ers may not be going as badly as a report says they are.

Per The Athletic's Dianna Russini, Purdy and the 49ers are "inching closer" to working out a long-term deal that will make him one of the 10 highest-paid players in the NFL by average annual salary.

Christian McCaffrey starts the offseason with “zero restrictions” following an injury-filled 2024 season for the San Francisco 49ers that limited him to just four games. McCaffrey missed the first eight games of the season with Achilles tendinitis and then went down with a right knee injury that sidelined him for the final five games.

Limited to four games last season due to injuries, San Francisco 49ers star running back Christian McCaffrey is fully recovered and participating in the team's offseason program, which began Tuesday.
