49ers GM John Lynch delivers clear verdict on Brock Purdy's future amid rumored $60,000,000 contract extension - Source: Imagn
No team has had a better quarterback situation, financially, than the San Francisco 49ers over the past three seasons. The team's starter, Brock Purdy, earned less than a million yearly, allowing the franchise to spend frivolously on its star players.
However, his rookie deal is set to expire at the end of the 2025 season, and he's reportedly set to demand a $60 million-a-year contract extension. Some have suggested that that's too steep a price for Purdy and the team should look into trading the quarterback over making him one of the highest-paid players in the league.
However, in a news conference on Wednesday, 49ers general manager John Lynch clarified that the franchise intends to retain his services despite the hefty cost. He absolved Purdy of any blame for their dismal 6-11 campaign. He blamed the team's injury issues for the 49ers' underwhelming season.
