The Niner Noise Podcast has a lot of cover in its latest episode, as they look at the George Kittle contract extension, the 49ers' 2025 NFL Draft haul, and much more.
The installment begins with the latest news out of Niners land: the Kittle extension. Your hosts, Robert Morrison and Akshaj Dwivedula, discuss why locking in the All-Pro tight end was so important and why the contract may not be as massive as it looks based on its structure.
Kittle's place San Francisco history, and the potential he can reach with a few more seasons with the franchise, is also noted, as the expectation is that a few more stellar seasons will not only make the tight end a Niner for life, but should cement his place in Canton at the Pro Football Hall of Fame someday.

Your hosts also dig into the bizarre case of Malik Mustapha's ACL tear and the impact it will have on the upcoming season, the signing of offensive tackle DJ Humphries to fill a much-needed position on the roster, as well as, briefly, the unfortunate injury to now-former 49ers' linebacker Dre Greenlaw.
But this episode is ultimately about the draft and the players San Francisco brought in to help improve the roster heading into the 2025 campaign, and there's a lot of conversation about not only who the players are but where the 49ers took them in the draft.
Akshaj has a lot of thoughts on that latter part. Tune in to find out more.
