NFL: 49ers offer record deal

The most exciting question of the NFL spring has been answered: Tom Brady has a new team. But other teams are also going strong now. The SPORT1 transfer ticker.

The NFL draft is over and Tom Brady has also found a new team with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Nevertheless, big names are still vying for a new contract. Who’s moving to where?

Is the next record contract in the NFL coming up?

According to information from NBC Sports, the San Francisco 49ers are eager to extend the contract of their tight end George Kittle, which expires next year, and offer him between 12.5 and 15 million US dollars. If this deal goes through, Kittle would be the highest paid tight end in the NFL.

This year, only four tight ends with Zach Ertz, Travis Kelce, Hunter Henry and Rob Gronkowski have their cap hit over ten million, while Eagles star Ertz is at the top with 12.4 million.

The 49ers had drafted Kittle 2017 in the fifth round. Within a very short time he has become one of the most important players in the team of Head Coach Kyle Shanahan. In his second season he broke the record for the biggest space gain of a tight end within one season.

Will Antonio Brown get another chance in the NFL?

As John Clayton of ESPN Radio reports, the Seattle Seahawks are interested in the Wide Receiver.

The 31-year-old was released shortly after signing with the New England Patriots and after a series of scandals last September, and has been waiting for a new team ever since. Most recently he tried to save his reputation with an apology tour.

Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson is now said to have come out in favour of signing the controversial professional to upgrade Seattle’s relatively thinly-staffed offensive. Wilson’s backup Geno Smith, who recently signed a new contract, is also said to be in favor of a future with Brown.
