Brock Purdy\u2019s contract talks may not be done by the start of the 49ers\u2019 offseason program in three weeks<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/header>\n

\"San<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The 49ers\u2019 offseason program starts in three weeks, and despite already having had three months to broker a contract extension for Brock Purdy, there remains no rush to pay the man.<\/p>\n

General manager John Lynch reiterated he thinks a deal will get done, and that it is \u201cnot too optimistic\u201d to think it could come before those workouts begin, ESPN\u2019s Nick Wagoner reported Monday from Lynch\u2019s media session at the NFL owners\u2019 meetings in Florida.<\/p>\n

The 49ers\u2019 brass and Purdy keep saying they want to take their relationship to the next level, which would be a multi-year contract. He didn\u2019t become eligible for that raise until completing the third season of his improbable rise from \u201cMr. Irrelevancy\u201d as the 2022 NFL Draft\u2019s final pick.<\/p>\n

And yet there is no indication of an imminent deal, or even one this offseason.<\/p>\n

\u201cDoes it happen this offseason? I don\u2019t know. Hopefully, it happens real soon this offseason,\u201d Lynch said, according to Sports Illustrated\u2019s Grant Cohn. \u201cI think that\u2019s the extent of getting into those things. Like I said, there\u2019s motivation on both sides and that\u2019s always a good thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Coach Kyle Shanahan is expected to speak to reporters Tuesday, and owner Jed York also might address reporters for the first time in an offseason overshadowed by cost-conscious roster changes.<\/p>\n

As players cleaned out their lockers Jan. 6 \u2013 including over 20 for their final time as 49ers \u2013 Purdy insisted he wanted an expedited deal, not to make up for lost wages on his bargain-basement rookie contract but to start the bonding process for what now is a radically reconstructed roster.<\/p>\n

\u201cMore than anything for me, I want to be able to handle business the right way and do it in a respectful manner, and get back to my team as fast as I can to get going to get better, to grow together,\u201d Purdy said Jan. 6. \u201c\u2026 I\u2019m not the kind of guy that wants to have any kind of drama associated with anything.\u201d<\/p>\n

Recent extensions for homegrown stars haven\u2019t been done before offseason workouts and instead contract stalemates dragged into at least last July for George Kittle (2021), Fred Warner (2022), Deebo Samuel (2022), Nick Bosa (2023), and Brandon Aiyuk (2024).<\/p>\n

Chaos could commence in three weeks if the face of the franchise remains underpaid, though he still remains under contract for 2025 at a $5.3 million base salary.<\/p>\n

AIYUK UPDATE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, on the eve of a $23 million contract trigger, is expected to remain with the 49ers this season.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe love Brandon Aiyuk as a football player. We did when we drafted him and we\u2019re excited to move forward with him,\u201d Lynch said, according to ESPN\u2019s Wagoner.<\/p>\n

Aiyuk is 4 1\/2 months into his recovery from right-knee reconstruction that Lynch said is tracking well.<\/p>\n

BRONCOS\u2019 DOUBLE-DIP<\/strong><\/p>\n

With linebacker Dre Greenlaw and safety Talanoa Hufanga both going to the Denver Broncos in free agency, that was \u201cmore coincidence\u201d in filling positions of need rather than a concerted effort to strictly poach former 49ers stars, Denver\u2019s Sean Payton said at the AFC coaches\u2019 breakfast at The Breakers in Palm Beach, Fla. \u201cIf there is a common thread, those two guys are tone setters in how they play,\u201d Payton told reporters in a video posted by the San Francisco Standard\u2019s David Lombardi.<\/p>\n

Payton said he was \u201cjust glad\u201d when Greenlaw finalized his deal with the Broncos after the 49ers\u2019 late push reportedly included a home visit by Lynch and coach Kyle Shanahan in Texas. \u201cThe injuries I think played a part in how he became a free agent, otherwise he\u2019s doesn\u2019t ever hit the free agent market and he\u2019s someone who\u2019s contract is redone,\u201d Payton said of Greenlaw, whose injuries shelved him missed for most of 2021 (groin) and 2024 (Achilles).<\/p>\n

On Hufanga, Payton hailed his communication, intelligence and toughness. \u201cThere\u2019s a style he plays, and part of that style because he\u2019s so physical and quick to support, he\u2019s had a handful of injuries. There\u2019s a toughness about his game. You guys will like him. There\u2019s something about him when you meet him and visit with him. That was a big get.\u201d<\/p>\n

UAE MARKETING RIGHTS<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 49ers, along with the Los Angeles Rams and the Washington Commanders, were granted the NFL\u2019s first marketing rights for the United Arab Emirates. Mexico and the United Kingdom also are under the 49ers\u2019 marketing umbrella.<\/p>\n

The 49ers are not expected to participate in any of the NFL\u2019s seven international games this coming season. They last played internationally in 2022 in Mexico City, and their last London visit was in 2013.<\/p>\n

JOINT PRACTICES<\/strong><\/p>\n

After injuries scuttled the 49ers\u2019 plans to hold joint practices last training camp with the Tennessee Titans, this summer could lead the 49ers to such sessions with the Denver Broncos, according to The Athletic\u2019s Matt Barrows.<\/p>\n

Joint practices have been commonplace since Shanahan came aboard in 2017. The 49ers hosted the Denver Broncos in 2017, then hit the road for joint practices at the Houston Texans (2018), the Broncos (2019), the Los Angeles Chargers (2022), the Minnesota Vikings (2022), and the Las Vegas Raiders (2023).<\/p>\n

MOODY SUPPORTER<\/strong><\/p>\n

Embattled kicker Jake Moody still has a staunch supporter in Jim Harbaugh, his former coach at Michigan who also previously coached the 49ers and is entering his second season with the Chargers. \u201cHe\u2019s just like a very, very steady, confident player in his ability,\u201d Harbaugh told reporters at the AFC breakfast, per Barrows. \u201cI\u2019ve seen him miss a few and then come back and make 14, 17 straight. I can\u2019t remember exactly what it was. I would think it\u2019s gonna repeat itself.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
