The 49ers are locking in their QB1 for the long haul! GM John Lynch confirmed that the team has initiated contract talks with Brock Purdy, making it clear they see him as their guy for the future. Purdy has been a total steal since taking over under center, proving he can lead this squad deep into the playoffs. While the details of his extension aren’t out yet, it’s safe to say he’s about to get a well-earned payday. With Purdy thriving in Kyle Shanahan’s system, locking him down is a no-brainer for a team that’s been knocking on the Super Bowl door.
On the flip side, a familiar face is on his way out. Lynch also revealed that the 49ers will respect Deebo Samuel’s request for a fresh start, officially giving him the green light to find a new team. After six seasons of electrifying plays and clutch performances, Deebo’s time in San Francisco is coming to an end. It’s tough to see a fan favorite go, but the writing was on the wall with trade rumors swirling. Now, the Niners will have to revamp their offense without one of their biggest playmakers. Big changes are coming to the Bay!
