## Resource

George Kittle drops a candid but cautious take on Brandon Aiyuk’s contract drama, revealing he’s seen firsthand how the 49ers tried to make it right — but admits it wasn’t his place to judge. With six years of shared history, Kittle acknowledges Aiyuk’s first big contract battle left a deeper scar than expected, especially compared to Kittle’s smoother, decade-long path. While the team’s efforts seem sincere, Kittle’s words hint at a rift that’s hard to mend — and suggest Aiyuk’s departure might not be a fluke, but a consequence of how the negotiation played out. It’s a sobering reminder: even the best intentions in contract talks can leave lasting emotional marks on players.
