tsylvester Posted Tuesday at 04:31 PM Posted Tuesday at 04:31 PM Likely just got a little more expensive Quote We’ll be getting the real numbers on the George Kittle extension soon. For now, we’re told that the four-year extension contains an inflated final-year salary that pushes the new-money average from $18 million per year to $19.1 million. When it comes to new contracts, the number that gets publicized more than any other is the new-money average per year. When it’s time to get to the truth of new contracts, the first question is whether the new-money APY is real, or inflated. Why $19.1 million? Because the highest-paid tight end, Trey McBride of the Cardinals, has a new-money APY of $19 million. Kittle is 31. It’s unlikely that he’ll finish a five-year contract. Dumping a phony salary into the final season doesn’t impact the 49ers. Kittle told the "Bussin' With The Boys" podcast earlier that the deal was worth $76.4 million. George Kittle's extension includes an average annual value of $19.1 million, putting him just ahead of Trey McBride for the largest average per year for a tight end in NFL history. Quote
