The San Francisco 49ers have started negotiations with Brock Purdy's agent on a contract extension and are expected to make the quarterback the highest-paid player in franchise history. Josh Dubow of the Associated Press spoke with team owner Jed York, who expressed confidence in securing the young quarterback's long-term future.

"I know we want Brock here for a long, long time and I believe we will make that work," York said.



York's comment reinforces the 49ers' long-standing belief that they've found their quarterback of the future. The team appears determined to ensure Purdy remains in the Bay Area for years to come.

On Sunday, The Athletic's Dianna Russini reported that the 49ers are eager to finalize the deal quickly, hoping to avoid the offseason contract drama that has plagued past negotiations.

"Let's clear this up right now: They will get it done," Russini wrote. "And the 49ers aren't dragging their feet — the team wants a deal soon and have started conversations with Purdy's camp.

"This was always the plan. The Niners have never wavered on Purdy as their franchise quarterback, not after his breakout run, not after leading them to a Super Bowl, and definitely not now after a disappointing 2024 season."

Purdy is coming off a 2024 campaign in which he threw for 3,864 yards, 20 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions. He is entering the final year of his rookie contract—a bargain for a starting NFL quarterback, given his status as the last overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft.
