The 49ers of San Francisco will be without a key member of their attack while they are preparing for the new season.
The Niners will go to the next campaign without a multitude of their veterans after having separated with a number of stars this offseason, including Deebo Samuel, while they focused on new contracts for other players.
However, they could find themselves without one of the stars that remained in the bay region in the midst of the negotiations in progress.
The tight winger George Kittle will not participate in voluntary training sessions, from Tuesday, in the midst of his contractual negotiations in progress, confirmed Ian Rapoport.
Kittle heads for the last year of his contract and he and the franchise would be “far from being distant” in the negotiations.
And as the two parties could not have approached an agreement on an extension, Kittle would be the greatest job for the voluntary program.

The quarter-Arrière Brock Purdy could also be a doubt in the midst of his own contract negotiations in progress
The 31 -year -old has signed a $ 75 million contract over five years in August 2020 and is now looking for long -term security.
Kittle has done the pro Bowl in the last four seasons and won the honors of the first All-Pro team in 2023.
The quarter-Arrière Brock Purdy and the availability of secondary Fred Warner for voluntary training had also been in doubt in the midst of their own negotiations, according to The Athletic.
However, Purdy, who had a career as a fairy tale at the NFL in San Francisco, coming from Mr. out of words for a quarter of the Pro Bowl, arrived with the team for the voluntary packaging of the offseason on Tuesday.
The two parties would have made progress on a multi -year extension for the 25 -year -old, which could make him one of the ten most paid players in the center.
It is believed that if the old choice of seventh round actually attends voluntary training, it could be a sign of this progress.
Meanwhile, Warner approaches the penultimate season of his current contract with a ceiling of $ 29.174 million for 2025.
His camp and the organization Niners have not yet organized “substantial” discussions on an extension, according to the report.
However, unlike Kittle, he should attend voluntary training sessions regardless of his status.
The veteran signed an extension of $ 95 million over five years in 2021, and he did the Pro Bowl and All-Pro three times since.
