Kyle Shanahan Discusses Bold QB Moves for 49ers

News summary

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed the team's interest in signing Tom Brady out of retirement during the offseason, particularly due to uncertainty surrounding starting quarterback Brock Purdy's elbow injury. Despite reaching out to Brady, who opted to remain retired, Shanahan made it clear that Purdy would be the starter unless Brady joined the team. Shanahan's bold approach also included contacting Bill Belichick to gauge his interest in a defensive coordinator position, although Belichick declined the offer. Shanahan's confidence and willingness to explore unconventional options reflect the 49ers' elevated status in the NFL, especially after their recent playoff struggles. Purdy's successful rookie season saw him lead the 49ers to a Super Bowl appearance, solidifying his role as the starting quarterback moving forward. The 49ers are set to open their 2024 season against the New York Jets on September 9.
