49ers George Kittle and Wife Celebrate $76.4 Million Contract Move
One of the things that the San Francisco 49ers went into this offseason knowing they needed to do was extend their superstar tight end.
And on Tuesday, they did exactly that.
George Kittle is a fan-favorite in San Francisco, and now he will be seating with the team through 2029, as he signed a four-year, $76.4 million contract extension with the Niners.

To celebrate, Kittle's wife, Claire, took to social media to congratulate her husband on the achievement of becoming the highest-paid tight end in the NFL.
"Beyond proud of you @gkittle," Claire wrote on Instagram, accompanied by a few photos of the two of them. "You've manifested this."
Claire has always been Kittle's No. 1 supporter, and that was shown in the Netflix series "Receiver", which gave fans a but of a look behind the scenes of the superstar tight end's day-to-day life.
Kittle is one of the best players in the history of the franchise, and is close to moving up in the record books in 2025. He is third all-time in receiving yards in Niners' history, and is 1,192 yards behind Hall of Fame wide receiver Terrell Owens.

While it is unlikely Kittle will climb to No. 1, as that spot belongs to Jerry Rice, he can get as high as he possibly can until his contract expires in 2029. It is then likely that he will retire, and he will end his career as one of the best players in the history of one of the NFL's most storied franchises.

Jayden Daniels (No. 5), Matthew Stafford (No. 6), C.J. Stroud (No. 7), Justin Herbert (No. 8), Baker Mayfield (No. 9), and Jalen Hurts (No. 10) Featured in Today's Episode Finale of Simms' Top 10 QB Countdownwith Top Four Tomorrow, June 10; In-Depth Breakdowns for Each Ranking Weekly on Chris Simms Unbuttoned Podcast 'You talk about efficiency in the pass game, not turning the ball over, and you couple that with 900 yards rushing on top of that? The sky is the limit.' – Simms on Commanders' Jayden Daniels 'He has one of the most gifted arms in the history of football. It's a Hall of Fame arm.' – Simms on Rams' Matthew Stafford 'He brings a skillset to [the Eagles] offense that makes them almost indefensible with all the talent they have.' – Simms on Eagles' Jalen Hurts STAMFORD, Conn. – June 9, 2025 – NBC Sports' Chris Simms continues his list of the top quarterbacks in the NFL as he begins ranking the top 10 signal callers in the league on the Chris Simms Unbuttoned podcast and on 'PFT Live' today, headlined by Super Bowl LIX MVP Jalen Hurts of the Eagles, 2024 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Jayden Daniels of the Commanders, and Super Bowl LVI champion Matthew Stafford of the Rams. Today's episode begins Simms' countdown of the top 10 quarterbacks. This year's countdown previously featured a new format, with Simms focusing on tiers and groups of quarterbacks as opposed to specific numeric rankings. Continuing the rankings, Simms unveiled his quarterbacks ranked #10-5 today and will announce his top four QBs in the NFL on tomorrow's episode. CHRIS SIMMS' TOP 10 NFL QUARTERBACKS, NUMBERS 5-10 Simms, a third-round pick of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the 2003 NFL Draft who played eight NFL seasons, will also offer in-depth player breakdowns and rankings explanations throughout each week on Chris Simms Unbuttoned. Simms has had success in projecting college quarterbacks – including naming Jayden Daniels, who was named AP's 2024 Offensive Rookie of the Year following a season that saw him lead the Washington Commanders to the NFC Championship Game, as his No. 2 QB prospect in 2024. Additionally, Simms named C.J. Stroud, who was named AP's 2023 Offensive Rookie of the Year, as his top QB prospect in 2023, Patrick Mahomes as his most exciting prospect in 2017, Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen as his top two QBs in 2018, and Justin Herbert as his No. 2 QB in 2020. The rankings will conclude tomorrow, Tuesday, June 10, on the next episode of Chris Simms Unbuttoned. The following are highlights from this week's edition of Chris Simms Unbuttoned: No. 5: Jayden Daniels, Washington Commanders 'I can't get over all the great decisions from Jayden Daniels. He played the game like he was a fifth-year veteran. Even his bad games were good where he made all the right reads and no mistakes. I still worry about his size a little bit, but he knows where to go with the football and never misses a target. I think he can work on getting his arm a hair stronger. You talk about efficiency in the pass game, not turning the ball over, and you couple that with 900 yards rushing on top of that? His abilities are what made the Commanders so dangerous. The sky is the limit.' No. 6: Matthew Stafford, Los Angeles Rams 'He has one of the most gifted arms in the history of football. It's a Hall of Fame arm. He can't move all that well, and that's probably why he isn't ranked a little bit higher, but he makes up for it in different ways. He always knows where to go with the ball, doesn't take unnecessary sacks, and is a good decision-maker. TV doesn't do it justice the amount of throws he makes where you go, 'That's incredible he saw that.'' No. 7: C.J. Stroud, Houston Texans 'I love watching C.J. Stroud play. He's one of the purest throwers in the sport. He makes some of the darndest throws as far as accuracy that you'll see from anybody on the whole list. The ability to drop back and put a ball in a tight window 25 yards down the field is incredible. We all threw it on Stroud for the step back [compared to his rookie season] last season, but I would say it was anything but that. Was he perfect? No. Did he have some down moments? Sure, but I think a lot of those down moments were more that the team wasn't doing well so he had to try and make things happen. I have no problem with his decision-making, which is really good.' No. 8: Justin Herbert, Los Angeles Chargers 'He's in the conversation for best pocket passer in the game. If things are all equal – the pocket is fine, somebody is open, and you need to hit a 25-yard throw on the money, Justin Herbert is on the short list of quarterbacks in the NFL that you're going to take. That is where he is amazing. When it comes to size and skill, he maybe plays bigger than any quarterback in the sport. He can run but this leads us into the negative…He doesn't do it enough. His backyard football part of the game has to improve. This is not 1988 anymore, you can't just say that you're going to be a pocket passer all day long.' No. 9: Baker Mayfield, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 'He's a pocket passer with a rocket arm and he's about as aggressive a quarterback in football right now. That's what's awesome about Baker Mayfield. He sees the field really well and for a guy that's not real big, the ability to hang in the pocket and throw high-level down-the-field type of throws with ease is as impressive as it gets. He's got every type of club you need in the world as a thrower. He can do all of that. Are there times where I think he reaches back and throws it too hard or reaches back for more and loses his control of the football? I think I've said that in years past. I still think that happens to him from time to time. But all in all, this is one of the most dangerous quarterbacks in the game right now.' No. 10: Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles 'The Super Bowl champ, the Super Bowl MVP. Really kind of an incredible year when you really think about it. The ultimate leader, that's the first thing I'll say. He's tough, he's the same guy all the time. He can handle the Philadelphia criticism good or bad and seems to take it all in stride. He brings a skillset to [the Eagles'] offense that makes them almost indefensible with all the talent they have. What he brings to the table puts it over the top to where you're just like, 'Oh my God, what do we defend?''

Drew Scott & Linda Phan Gave a Super-Rare Glimpse Into Making the ‘Back-To-Back Birthday Parties for Piper & Parker'
Having kids born close together is a logistics nightmare. When their birthdays are only days or weeks apart, it can be exhausting (and expensive!) to celebrate each child separately. And as a twin, Drew Scott knows the importance of making your kids feel special. That's why he and his wife Linda Phan came up with the coolest party hack to celebrate the 'back-to-back' birthdays of their kids Parker, born on May 4, 2022, and their daughter Piper, born on May 21, 2024. 'Linda and I threw back-to-back birthday parties for Piper and Parker last month, and let's just say…the kids weren't the only ones having a blast! 😄' the Property Brothers star captioned a new post on Instagram. He shared that he and Phan had a great time dressing up and making their own multi-purpose decorations. 'When it comes to hosting, we love getting the kids involved with DIY crafts, finding new ways to repurpose decorations, and keeping things fun and festive without the fuss. (Linda's creativity never ceases to amaze me!) Swipe for inspo➡️🎂,' he added. In the first photo, the couple smile next to a wagon covered in cardboard to turn it into a 'sea lab.' 'Making props with cardboard and paint is a fun way to get kids involved,' Scott explained. His first tip: 'start with a theme.' For Parker's 3rd birthday, the theme was 'under the sea,' and for Piper's first, it was 'French Pâtisserie.' Next, they made cute signage and rhymes to go with the party and set up a photo booth backdrop. For Parker, they put up blue and orange streamers; for Piper, they made a display with flowers and pastries. 'Try décor you can eat!' he suggested. Next up: 'attention to detail.' They wrapped blue paper sharks around paper cups and set up a table with pink glasses and blue-striped napkins. To save money, Scott recommends 'invest[ing] in décor you can reuse multiple times,' like mini disco balls that worked for both parties, and setting up a play and reading area with things they already had around the house. 'Put on a show' was next, as Scott shared photos of Phan, him, and others dressed up to do a puppet show for Parker's party and a live band to play music for Piper's party. Last but not least, have a fabulous cake! Parker's was in the shape of waves with toy sea animals to fit the theme, and Piper's had edible flowers that made for 'beautiful and easy decorations.' They definitely made the whole back-to-back party thing look easy! People praised these nice, yet relatively simple birthday parties in the comments. 'Kiddos parties are the best – love it! ❤️,' one person wrote. Someone else said, 'This is too cute for kids party 🎉 ideas enjoyed the pics' Last month, Scott shared adorable updates about his kids on their birthdays. For Piper, he shared a sweet video montage of one of her favorite things: dancing! 'POV: Your toddler dances to anything and everything,' he wrote over the video, adding in the caption, 'Happy 1st birthday to our little dancing queen! ❤️' When his son Parker turned 3, he wrote a little bit about what his toddler is into right now. 'To my walk and talk compadre, my dino wrangler, my coffee connoisseur, and my little foodie,' the HGTV star wrote on Instagram. 'You've made the past 3 years the best I could have imagined.' He added, 'I love you Parky!! Happy bday.' It may be challenging to celebrate two kids in the same month, but Scott is doing it with style — and he seems to be truly enjoying every minute with his little of SheKnows 27 Times Katherine Schwarzenegger Proved She's the Sweetest Mom 32 Celebrities Who Froze Their Eggs or Embryos From Free-Range to Fully Offbeat, These Celebs Embrace Unconventional Parenting Styles
