Brock Purdy Attends 49ers OTAs Amid Contract Negotiations

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy attended the first day of the team's voluntary offseason workouts despite ongoing negotiations for a lucrative contract extension, signaling his commitment to the team and a mature approach to negotiations. Purdy, who has been a bargain for the 49ers on his rookie contract, is reportedly close to a multi-year deal that could pay him over $50 million per year, though final terms have not yet been reached. In contrast, All-Pro tight end George Kittle, also seeking a new contract, did not attend the workouts, with reports indicating negotiations between Kittle and the team are far apart. Purdy's presence has been seen by many as a positive sign for the team's stability and his leadership, especially after a 2024 season marked by injuries and statistical regression. The 49ers' handling of these contract negotiations is being closely watched after previous high-profile holdouts, and Purdy’s participation is viewed as a departure from such tactics. Fans and analysts have praised Purdy's professionalism, with some calling for a long-term commitment from the franchise.
