George Kittle Extends Contract, Eyes WWE Future

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle has secured a four-year, $76.4 million contract extension after a standout 2024 season, surpassing 1,000 receiving yards for the fourth time and leading all tight ends in yards per reception. Kittle has no immediate plans to retire, but says he may consider it if football becomes too painful or if his wife encourages him to step away. He invests up to $250,000 annually in advanced health regimens to maintain peak performance, a commitment that intensified after a major foot injury in 2020. Off the field, Kittle has actively pursued WWE opportunities, including guest appearances and assisting at WrestleMania 39, as he eyes a possible post-NFL wrestling career. His dual focus on football and entertainment has increased his profile in both industries. Recently, Kittle hosted Tight End University, where a surprise performance by Taylor Swift underscored his influence and popularity.
