That 49ers Tackle Wants a Decade in Red and Gold and the 12s Are Already Sick of It
Alright, 12s, grab your coffee because this one's going to annoy you. You know that 49ers right tackle, Colton McKivitz? Yeah, the one who just doesn't quit. Turns out, he's got this whole 'legacy' thing going, aiming to stick around in San Fran for at least a full decade. Seriously. Just what we needed, right?
Just When We Thought He Was Gone
Remember when this guy was just a fifth-round rookie out of West Virginia back in 2020? He showed up in 14 games that year, got three starts, whatever. Then, get this, in August of 2021, they actually released him. Yeah, cut him! We probably all thought, 'Good riddance, another one down.' But nope. The Niners, being the Niners, brought him right back to the practice squad after he cleared waivers, and then he was back on the active roster by November of that same year. The dude just won't go away. He even said he's got "scars" from being cut, but you know he's using that as fuel.

The 10-Year Wall? You Gotta Be Kidding Me
After Mike McGlinchey bounced for Denver in 2023, guess who stepped up to right tackle? Yep, McKivitz. And he hasn't looked back since, starting every single game. That includes all seven of their playoff games and even Super Bowl LVIII. This past September, they even gave him a three-year, $45 million extension, locking him down through 2028. You read that right. $45 million. And his big goal? He wants to be on their "10-year wall." He's going into his fourth season of starting now, which leaves him just one year shy of that decade-long dream once his current contract is up. He literally said, "I don’t want to leave here." Ugh. Just another Niner to deal with for the long haul, trying to be a legend for them.
So, while we're out here watching our Seahawks under Coach Macdonald, getting ready for what's NEXT, knowing Sam Darnold is slinging it to Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp, we also gotta keep an eye on these rival teams. McKivitz is making it clear he plans to be a thorn in our side for years to come. It just means our boys have to work even harder to make sure his '10-year wall' dreams don't come with too many wins over the Emerald City. Let's get it, Hawks!
