49ers Reaffirm Commitment to Brock Purdy Despite Speculative Quarterback Rumors

San Francisco plans to extend Purdy's contract but faces questions over his performance during a challenging season.

The San Francisco 49ers have publicly reiterated their commitment to quarterback Brock Purdy despite rumors linking the team to veteran quarterbacks Kirk Cousins and Aaron Rodgers.
Purdy, who is under contract through 2025, is expected to negotiate a significant extension this offseason, potentially exceeding $60 million per year.
The 49ers' disappointing 6-9 season, marked by injuries to key players, has raised concerns about Purdy's late-game performance and physical limitations.
Purdy's 2024 stats show a decline from his 2023 Pro Bowl season, with 3,487 passing yards, 17 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions over 14 games.
Speculation about alternatives stems from Cousins' potential availability after being benched in Atlanta and past links between Rodgers and 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan.
