There is a new highest-paid tight end in the NFL. That title now belongs to George Kittle, who agreed to a mammoth four-year contract extension with the San Francisco 49ers, according to the "Bussin' With The Boys" podcast, CBS Sports NFL insider Jonathan Jones confirms.

There's more to the George Kittle contract extension than meets the eye. This was a good step for the San Francisco 49ers.

The $19.1 million average annual value tops the previous record for a tight end of $19 million set earlier this offseason when Trey McBride resigned with Arizona.
