George Kittle Urging 49ers to Trade for 9-Time Pro Bowler
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle is urging general manager John Lynch to trade for a nine-time NFL Pro Bowler.
San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch is actively investigating potential trades as the NFL trade deadline looms. During a recent interview with KNBR, Lynch confirmed that discussing deals with other teams is part of their responsibilities. Lynch stated, "Just because the trade deadline is approaching, yes, Lynch said during a recent interview with KNBR.
To talk with our counterparts around the league. We've received calls and we make calls. Just to see where the market is at." The 49ers general manager also mentioned that veteran tight end George Kittle inquired about pursuing Los Angeles Chargers pass rusher Khalil Mack, a nine-time Pro Bowler and three-time first team All-Pro.
However, Mack addressed the speculation, emphasizing his focus on the 49ers and dismissing the outside noise. Meanwhile, the 49ers are currently 5-0 at the start of the 2026 season, preparing for their upcoming Monday night primetime game against the Washington Commanders.
