John Lynch Confident Brock Purdy's 49ers Contract Extension Will Get Done amid Rumors

The San Francisco 49ers are confident that they will get a contract extension done with quarterback Brock Purdy.

49ers general manager John Lynch expressed his belief that the team "will get a deal done" with Purdy and that it hopefully happens in the near future.

"Brock wants to be with us," Lynch said, per Nick Wagoner of ESPN. "We want Brock to be with us. When that's the case, these things typically get done. And does it happen this offseason? I don't know. Hopefully it happens real soon this offseason, but I think that's the extent of getting into those things. ... There's motivation on both sides, and that's always a good thing."

Purdy is entering his fourth NFL season and the final year of his rookie deal. He has led the 49ers to the playoffs two times, including a run to the NFC Championship in 2022-23 and to the Super Bowl in 2023-24.

The 49ers had an injury-riddled 2024 season, finishing 6-11 and missing the postseason for the first time since 2020. Purdy threw for 3,864 yards with 20 touchdowns and 12 interceptions in 15 games.

Lynch and the 49ers have consistently backed Purdy as their long-term option as the starting quarterback and it will require a significant payment soon to secure him. Per Over The Cap, the 49ers will have $50.4 million in cap space in 2026 and Purdy's contract would expectedly take up a significant portion of that.

While it may be a hefty cost, Lynch's words show that the team appears likely to do what it takes to get the deal done.
