Kittle's Inflated Contract Impacts Purdy Negotiations
Tap title to read story
George Kittle's new four-year contract extension with the 49ers boasts a publicized average annual value (APY) of $19.1 million, inflated by a high final-year salary. This strategy, common in NFL negotiations, allows agents to secure the highest-paid title for their client. The inflated number doesn't financially impact the 49ers as it's non-guaranteed. This dynamic influences upcoming negotiations with quarterback Brock Purdy, whose contract may also feature a high APY and escape clauses for the team, likely guaranteeing only two years of pay.
