Attention presumably shifts to Brock Purdy, who is projected to make somewhere in the range of $53 million per year after signing a new contract. If the 49ers can lock up both of these crucial offensive pieces, the headlines can once again center around the football product.

Although he plays on the West Coast, Kittle has laid down his roots in music city, calling Nashville home for many years.

Kittle agreed to a four-year, $76.4 million extension with the 49ers earlier this offseason. He deserved that kind of pay after the productive years he has put together in San Francisco.
