BREAKING: 49ers at Contract Impasse With Brock Purdy – Could a Shocking Draft Night Trade Be Coming?
SANTA CLARA, CA — The San Francisco 49ers’ offseason just took a dramatic turn as contract extension talks with Brock Purdy have stalled, leading to bombshell speculation that the 2023 NFC Champion quarterback could be traded during tonight’s NFL Draft.
The $60 Million Standoff
Sources confirm the two sides remain “miles apart” on valuation:
💰 Purdy’s camp: Seeking 60M/year∗∗(DakPrescottmoney)💰∗∗49ers′offer∗∗:Around∗∗50M/year (Jared Goff territory)
“There’s real tension here,” reports NBC Sports Bay Area’s Matt Maiocco. “Purdy’s agents are leveraging his 21-5 record as starter, while the 49ers remember he was the last pick in the draft.”
The Nuclear Scenario
49ers on SI‘s Grant Cohn floated this blockbuster draft-night possibility:
1️⃣ Titans draft Penn State’s Abdul Carter at No. 1
2️⃣ Tennessee trades for Purdy, giving him $60M+ extension
3️⃣ 49ers receive:
• 2025 1st-round pick (via Titans trade-up)
• 2026 2nd-rounder (convertible to 1st based on performance)
“This isn’t fantasy football—it’s a legitimate option if talks collapse,” an NFC exec told ESPN.
Why Tennessee Makes Sense
• Titans passed on QBs with No. 1 pick in this scenario
• New HC Brian Callahan wants a precision passer
• Purdy’s play-action mastery fits their scheme perfectly
49ers’ Contingency Plans
If Purdy departs, San Francisco could:
🔄 Draft Shedeur Sanders (Colorado QB with Kyle Shanahan-friendly skills)
🔄 Trade for Aaron Rodgers (Jets may eat salary for picks)
🔄 Sign Kirk Cousins (Familiar with Shanahan’s system)
John Lynch’s poker face: “We love Brock. These things take time.”
Looming Deadlines
• Tonight: Draft begins at 8 PM ET (potential trade window)
• July 31: Purdy eligible for extension after 2024 season
