NFL reporter Dianna Russini is standing by her reporting about George Kittle's contract dispute with the San Francisco 49ers, despite the All-Pro tight end publicly refuting what she's said. Kittle and the Niners are currently negotiating a new deal for the 31-year-old as he's entering the final year of his contract.

George Kittle, the team's star tight end, showed up in the comments section with a five-word message about San Francisco's decision to draft Bosa. "That was a good pick," he wrote.

The San Francisco 49ers kicked off their offseason program without one of their most important leaders on the field: George Kittle. Known for his dominance in both blocking and receiving, Kittle’s absence from Phase 1 of OTAs sparked immediate speculation.
