George Kittle relieved to get 49ers deal done, ready to get back on the field

The 49ers' offseason shifted dramatically this past week, from drafting for the future to taking care of one of the present cornerstones of the organization, tight end George Kittle. On this episode of "49ers Talk," host Jennifer Lee Chan sits down with Kittle to discuss the relief he's feeling about getting this contract done ahead of important offseason training as well as any advice he could give to fellow captain quarterback Brock Purdy as he navigates his first big contact extension himself. Later, Matt Maiocco and Jennifer discuss the importance of getting Kittle's contract done ahead of San Francisco's offseason program and how that might impact Purdy's negotiations moving forward.
