“All the starting spots appear set, except for left guard. The 49ers look to replace Aaron Banks, who signed a big-money deal with the Green Bay Packers. Bartch is the front-runner for the position, but the door is open for a camp competition.”
49ers’ George Kittle reveals contract advice shared with Brock Purdy
“And he just said, ‘Hey, look, contracts are like braces. You hate them, they look terrible the entire time they are doing them, but the second you get them off, you have a beautiful smile and a bag of cash, and you won’t remember anything about the braces.’
“I was like, ‘That was awesome.’ And that is exactly how you feel about it. I was thankful to have a leader like that. Sherm gave me those tips, and as long as I can pass those down to other guys, it’s very helpful.”
Kittle admitted he’s already passed the analogy on to Purdy, as the quarterback awaits the finalization of his own deal.
“That is a great quote,” Kittle shared. “I’ve already used that quote on Brock … and he likes it as well.”
