A report from SI.com previously in the day showed that a brand-new offer for Kittle would be revealed on Friday. Kittle himself apparently took problem with that characterization on his Twitter account later specifying “Y all believe everything you check out on the internet huh.” More reports followed that said that while an offer wasnt yet done, it appeared as though development towards an agreement was being made. Now it appears that development had actually let to the lasts of settlements.

According to the NFL Network, the 49ers and Kittle are nearing completion on an offer that will make Kittle the greatest paid tight end in the league “without a doubt.”
Los Angeles Chargers tight end Hunter Henry is carrying the biggest average salary for the position at $10.6 million for this year on the franchise tag. The four-year agreement Austin Hooper signed with the Cleveland Browns this offseason worth $42 million is the benchmark multi-year deal for the position.
