It is truly the end of an era as Kyle Juszczyk departs from the San Francisco 49ers! Amidst the tough transition times, Kyle’s wife, Kristin Juszczyk, is his biggest support system. As Kyle enters free agency, several teams are keeping an eye on him to add his veteran skills to their roster. Although Juszczyk’s next team is uncertain, he has seemingly decided his next career move.
His wife confirmed this. Taking to her Instagram account, Kristin shared an image from the plane cabin, fist-bumping her husband Kyle from a distance. Captioning the post, she penned, “If we can’t hold hands at take off.” With their heartfelt moment of connection before takeoff, it seems that the couple has decided their next step. Is it a possible vacation to relax before the hectic schedule of the new season sets in? Possibly! Or it might be a new city where Kyle will play his next season. You never know. The couple is travelling to an unknown destination, and fans are happy to see them relax after the news of Kyle’s release broke the internet.
After eight seasons with the 49ers, they officially released Kyle on March 10, 2025, as ESPN’s Adam Schefter confirmed. With his immense contributions to the 49ers’ offense, his departure was a shocker for all.
Kristin, who is a rising star in the fashion world, was also quite evidently disappointed over it, as she shared a story of an empty row of airplane seats with a cryptic caption, “The world knew.” But, despite the ups and downs, she is always by his side.
Fans worried about Kristin more than Kyle Juszczyk
The 49ers released Kyle Juszczyk after eight years. The contract had a $6.49 million cap hit for 2025, with void years extending to 2028. Juszczyk was a key figure for the 49ers in Kyle Shanahan’s offense as a blocker and receiver. Hence, his release was a true shocker for all.
The 49ers announced Kyle Juszczyk’s release on Instagram, and fans were stunned. After all, the fullback had been with the team for eight years. While many expressed their shock, others had some interesting questions. One fan asked a particularly amusing one: “What is his wife going to do with all her clothes?”
Surprisingly, this question caused more buzz than the release itself. Kyle’s wife, Kristin, designs stylish 49ers-themed outfits and often gifts them to fellow WAGs like Claire Kittle. The question quickly went viral, with one X user joking, “I’m sure she can sell them and make a killing.”
A little humor to lighten the mood in an otherwise tough moment.
However, Juszczyk remained determined, as he stated in January with ESPN, “I know I’m not done. I’m definitely not done playing. I’ve seen zero regression.” It is his ultimate priority to win a Super Bowl, whether in San Francisco or elsewhere.

His release shocked his teammates as well. 49ers tight end George Kittle shared a throwback photo, captioning it, “Day one Juice .” His wife, Claire Kittle, also posted an emotional message, writing, “Just rip our hearts out why don’t you .” Meanwhile, Juszczyk is weighing his options, with the Green Bay Packers emerging as a potential landing spot. The Packers have signed just two players, including cornerback Nate Hobbs. With Matt LaFleur’s offense needing fullbacks, it makes Juszczyk an ideal addition.
In the 2024 season, Juszczyk played all 17 games, recording 26 rushing yards, one touchdown, 19 receptions, 200 receiving yards, and two scores. Now, with an estimated $3 million price tag, he presents an affordable option for teams in need of a versatile fullback.
Analysts see the Packers as a strong potential landing spot, but as Juszczyk explores his options, it’ll be interesting to see where he ends up next.
