With off season in full swing for the 49ers tight end, George Kittle and his wife, Claire, have been kicking back in style. Two days ago, the couple made their way to a Morgen Wallen concert in Nashville with some of their friends. And just a day later, they seemed to be en route to the F1 Miami Grand Prix.
Unlike the rest of the fans heading to the racetrack, the college sweethearts went all out on their mode of transport. So much so that the 29-year-old even labeled it a dream come true for the athlete. In a story on her Instagram, the blogger shared a clip of her following George Kittle into a Raising Cane’s party bus.

The former basketball player even captioned it, “This is @gkittle literal dream.” Claire Kittle even tagged the fast food brand and followed up the snap with one of herself. The 29-year-old could be seen wearing a Raising Cane’s cap with her matching blue crop top and joggers. She completed her look with some bracelets on each hand, a necklace, and a rather filled handbag.
While Kittle and his wife might be having a blast at the moment, the San Francisco 49ers fans are worried about how long the 30-year-old can stay with the beloved team.
George Kittle’s potential future with the 49ers
After 7 years together, the 49ers might have no choice but to let George Kittle go because the team has been facing many major financial cutbacks this year. With them having to restructure their multi-million dollar deals to save some money, they wound up losing defensive tackle Arik Armstead. However, the team managed to retain fullback Kyle Juszczyk.

Although that might have been a small win for San Francisco, it did not last long, as the next player on the list with the most tenure was Kittle. At the moment, it looks like the team has worked something out to ensure the tight end gets his full salary for this year. However, it might be a little harder to make ends meet in the final year of his contract.

Maybe things could go another route if the 49ers get their hands on an adequate TE to replace Kittle. After all, the team has previously looked for other tight-end backups in college stars like Cameron Latu and Brayden Willis, who were drafted into the NFL just last year. However, neither of them wound up bringing as much to the table as the 30-year-old did.
While the Niners might have had a chance at bagging some rather good tight ends at the 2024 NFL Draft, the team wound up with one linebacker, Tatum Bethune, two wide receivers, Jacob Cowing and Ricky Pearsall, two OLs Jarrett Kingston and Dominick Puni among others. With space still empty on their roster for another excellent TE, the team just might go after a trade somewhere along the line.
