Many teams have made offseason splashes, with most of the moves coming during NFL free agency. The San Francisco 49ers were heavily featured throughout free agency, but mostly because they lost so many former players to other teams.<\/p>\n

The 49ers lost 17 free agents in all, and Brock Purdy\u2018s upcoming contract extension may have been the biggest reason why.<\/p>\n

Recently, San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York addressed the media after what\u2019s been an interesting offseason for the franchise.<\/p>\n

Multiple fan favorites have departed, including Deebo Samuel, Dre Greenlaw, and Talanoa Hufanga. In a world without salary caps, the 49ers likely would have made a stronger effort to keep their star talent. Yet, they seem to be prioritizing their one-time Pro Bowl quarterback instead.<\/p>\n

Yet, York seemed to place part of the blame on needing to save enough money to pay their franchise quarterback.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWhen you\u2019re in a world where everybody is watching the NFL the first week of free agency or at least the first few days of free agency, it\u2019s a frenzy. \u2026 When you\u2019re not overly active in that space, it gets easy to say, \u2018Oh, you don\u2019t want to win.\u2019 \u2026 I don\u2019t know that, as we looked at the board, that there was somebody that we felt made that type of an impact more so than making the decision to try to go pay Brock.\u201d<\/p>\n

York went on to call Purdy a top-10 quarterback, and pretty soon, Mr. Irrelevant will have a contract that reflects his status. Meanwhile, the 49ers have to continue finding ways to remain competitive, now that they\u2019ll have an expensive quarterback instead of the NFL\u2019s biggest bargain.<\/p>\n
