"Listen, I think what we know about Brock is that he's our guy," Lynch declared. "We have interest in Brock being around here for a long, long time. He's done so much for our organization. He's won big games, and had a little tougher task, as we all did, this year with some of the things that happened throughout the course of the year.
"We just never could string games where we were all together. And through that, he continued to lead, he continued to play at a high level. So, we have every interest in him being around."
After years of drawn-out contract negotiations with other players, head coach Kyle Shanahan emphasized the importance of quickly finalizing a deal with Purdy to ensure everyone is ready for organized team activities (OTAs). More than anything, he, too, has confidence that the 49ers have found their franchise quarterback.
"Brock is the leader of our team," Shanahan stated. "I've loved these three years with Brock. I plan on being with Brock here the whole time I'm here. Brock's been a stud. He's a guy I've got a lot of confidence in, just as a human. But it starts with what he's done on the field these last two and a half years.
"And we're capable of winning a Super Bowl with him. We just almost did. And I know he's capable of getting the Niners a Super Bowl in the future."
Lynch acknowledged that he and Shanahan have yet to finalize their offseason plans, but with the season now over, they're ready to start addressing priorities.
"He's just getting off coaching," Lynch said. "He's had his door shut for two days doing exit interviews. We were just [meeting], we were talking about our players. We'll have some time here in the coming weeks to sit together and put our whole plan together. That's obviously a priority, that position, and we'll give it that attention."
While Purdy didn't replicate his record-breaking 2023 performance, he still delivered solid numbers this season, throwing for 3,864 yards, 20 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions over 15 games. Now entering his fourth NFL season, Purdy is determined to help the 49ers rebound from a disappointing 6-11 campaign and contend for a championship once again.
