49ers Confident in Finalizing Brock Purdy Contract Extension Before NFL Draft

Team leadership expresses optimism as negotiations progress to secure Purdy as the franchise quarterback, with significant roster adjustments already made to accommodate his anticipated deal.

San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York and general manager John Lynch remain optimistic about finalizing a long-term contract extension with quarterback Brock Purdy before the NFL Draft on April 24, 2025.
The team has made substantial salary-cap adjustments earlier this offseason to prepare for Purdy's expected lucrative extension.
Jed York reaffirmed Purdy's status as the team's franchise quarterback, describing him as a top-10 player and expressing a strong desire to keep him long-term.
Purdy, currently in the final year of his rookie deal, is eager to remain involved in the 49ers' offseason program despite ongoing negotiations.
York criticized NFL rules that delay contract extensions for young players, highlighting the financial disparity Purdy faces compared to college athletes earning through NIL deals.
