For 49ers of San FranciscoThe biggest shock was the news that the organization had informed Kyle Juszczyk nine times the pro Bowl of its intention to release it before the start of the year of the League on Wednesday.

Juszczyk, 33, has been a power of the 49ers offensive since he was brought in 2017 by head coach Kyle Shanahan and the director general John Lynch. Meanwhile, he won eight of his nine Pro Bowl head nods and was an All-Pro from the first team in 2023.
The news on Monday sent shock waves to the league, including those closest to the NFL veteran 12 years.
“JUI day one” George Kittle, Who was drafted by San Francisco the same year signed as Juszczyk said, said in a post on Instagram.

However, the most vocal after the news was Kittle’s wife, Claire Kittle, who also shared a close relationship with the wife of Juszczyk, Kristin Juszczyk.
“Just depositing our hearts why not you,” she said in a post, sharing a photo of the two couples together.
Claire Kittle also shared the many distinctions of juiceczyk in the same post, adding another later, “it will never make sense.”

“I thank the Lord to bring us together in 2017,” she continued. “You boys are all that an organization could dream, on and off the field. I am so proud of you.”
Juszczyk owed a salary of $ 4.1 million this season. The Niners will rather take a dead ceiling charge of $ 3.6 million with the press release.
