Candlestick Chronicles: George Kittle’s contract and a good group of linebackers

The George Kittle contract extension continues to hang over the 49ers’ offseason. Chris and Kyle preview the 49ers’ linebacker depth chart.

A couple of big-money signings around the NFL put more light on the 49ers’ ongoing negotiations with George Kittle on a long-term contract extension. However, Chris Jones’ deal with the Chiefs and Myles Garrett’s deal with the Browns are both a little different situations than Kittle with the 49ers.

Chris Biderman of the Sacramento Bee and Kyle Madson dive into the Kittle contract and reasons it hasn’t gotten done yet on the latest episode of Candlestick Chronicles. The guys also continue their depth chart preview with a look at the 49ers’ very good group of linebackers.

While the starting group appears to have spots locked down, there are some battles behind the trio of starters that should be interesting to watch in camp.
