Much talk has surfaced about the San Francisco 49ers and their public contract negotiations with star receiver Brandon Aiyuk, who is looking for a hefty raise with one-year remaining on his current contract.
Aiyuk remains a top priority for the 49ers, who have seemed committed to working out an extension since the offseason began, but there are also other potential extension candidates that San Francisco could look to work out deals with.
Other popular names include cornerbacks Charvarius Ward and Deommodore Lenoir, who both are on the last years of their respective deals. But, how about tight end George Kittle?

Let’s evaluate Kittle’s current contract and why an extension could be in the books, despite the rising age of the star tight end.
