49ers GM Confirms Contract Talks with QB Brock Purdy

San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch announced that negotiations have begun for a long-term contract with quarterback Brock Purdy, who is entering the final year of his rookie deal. Lynch expressed optimism about reaching an agreement, emphasizing the team's desire to have Purdy as their quarterback for the long term. Despite a challenging 2024 season that saw Purdy's performance dip due to injuries among key teammates, he is reportedly seeking a significant raise, potentially exceeding $50 million annually. Lynch noted that the recent discussions are positive, and both sides are motivated to finalize a deal before the offseason program begins in April. The 49ers have a history of successfully negotiating extensions with core players, and they hope to avoid a lengthy contract process this time. As the team looks to recover from a disappointing 6-11 season, adding youth and securing Purdy's future are top priorities.
