Claire Kittle is elated to be staying in San Francisco.
The wife of 49ers tight end George Kittle reacted to his new contract extension — a four-year, $76.4 million deal with $40 million guaranteed — on Tuesday and said that he “manifested this.”
“Beyond proud of you @gkittle you’ve manifested this ❤️,” Claire wrote, adding a red heart emoji, on her Instagram.
“The Peoples TE is back again!”
She included a carousel of snapshots of the two-time All-Pro tight end putting a pen to paper at the 49ers’ facility.
One photo featured the couple kissing in front of a screen that read “Locked in.”

Taking to her Instagram Story, Claire added, “4 more baby” and “Locked & loaded.”
Another video showed Kittle dancing after they arrived home to their living room decorated with 49ers balloons by Parties and Petals, a local event company in the Bay Area, according to Claire.
Kittle’s extension came after he disputed a report by The Athletic last week that said his absence at the team’s voluntary offseason program was related to a holdout over contract-related issues with the 49ers.

The 31-year-old was entering the final year of his previous deal that he signed in 2020, which made him the highest-paid NFL tight end ever at the time.
Kittle’s new deal includes $40 million guaranteed, he told Will Compton and Taylor Lewan, hosts of the “Bussin’ With The Boys” podcast.
The six-time Pro Bowler will earn $35 million at signing and $5 million in 2027.

Now under contract until 2029, Kittle will likely end his career with San Francisco, which he previously said he hoped to accomplish.
Kittle has played his entire career with the 49ers after the team took him in the fifth round of the 2017 NFL Draft.
The Iowa standout and Claire, who played basketball for the Hawkeyes, met during their freshman year in 2012.
They’ve been married since 2019.
