The San Francisco 49ers have had a relatively quiet offseason in terms of internal drama. Due to this, star tight end George Kittle couldn\u2019t be happier.

\u201cI\u2019m happy that we don\u2019t have a bunch of guys holding out for contracts,\u201d Kittle told NBC Sports Bay Area\u2019s Jennifer Lee Chan<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019m glad that we are not having a super drama-filled offseason.
