49ers re-signed TE Jake Tonges to a two-year, $8 million contract.

11 March 2026

He gets $5.5 million guaranteed. If George Kittle’s rehab from a torn Achilles runs into the regular season — which seems likely, even with all the positivity around it — Tonges should be a solid low-end TE1 while Kittle misses time. He averaged 4.5 catches for 44.5 yards in the games Kittle missed early last season, adding five touchdowns along the way.
