The San Francisco 49ers are struggling this season with a 6-8 record, making playoff hopes nearly impossible. This disappointing performance may lead to significant changes in the offseason, including the potential trade of star tight end George Kittle.
At 31 years old and entering the last year of his contract, Kittle, a five-time Pro Bowler, has had a solid season with 65 catches for 861 yards and eight touchdowns. However, the team's financial constraints and the need to pay quarterback Brock Purdy could make Kittle a trade target.
With recent lucrative contracts given to players like Brandon Aiyuk, Christian McCaffrey, and Nick Bosa, retaining Kittle might be challenging. If the 49ers opt for a rebuild, they may seriously consider trading him if a strong offer arises.
