One franchise cornerstone the 49ers are not looking to part ways with is tight end George Kittle. Kittle has been with the 49ers since 2017, the year John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan took over the franchise, and has been one of the key players to the team's success over the past half decade.

George Kittle hasn't been the center of attention during the early part of the team's offseason, but he's expected to take on a more central role as time moves on.
