Kittle's contract comes about a month after the group of friends feared they would split up. The 49ers originally released Juszczyk on March 11. Eight days later, he resigned with San Francisco on a two-year, $8 million deal.

With Kittle's new extension, the teammates and their wives will have at least two more seasons together in the Bay Area.
