San Francisco 49ers star quarterback Brock Purdy said Monday he was unconcerned about contract 'nonsense' and was focused on winning games.
Brock Purdy’s rise with the San Francisco 49ers over the last two seasons has been improbable to say the least, but he has gotten the team on the cusp of a Super Bowl title. Purdy, who was the 'Mr. Irrelevant' of the 2022 draft, is entering the third year of his rookie deal and has prompted questions about whether he is in line for a contract extension.
Of the 21 regular-season starts he has made since taking the reins in 2022, he is 17-4. He threw for 4,280 passing yards and 31 touchdown passes in his first full season as the starting quarterback. He was asked about the notion of receiving a lucrative contract extension on Monday. He told reporters he was taking everything one day at a time and was focused on winning. 'I'm trying to win this year and do everything I can for this organization this year,' he said.
9ers general manager John Lynch reflected on trading up for Lance in 2021 and thanked ownership for allowing him to make the bold decision to move up. However, he was happy the Purdy pick worked out the way it was. 'Thank God for Mr. Irrelevant,' Lynch said.. He helped us. And I always am careful of this because Trey Lance's story hasn't been written yet. He's in Dallas right now and I still think Trey's got good football in him. We'll see. That will play out.
But I think we're in a real good place as a football team, as an organization, and we’ve got to find a way to get a little bit better. And that's the focus of this whole off season. And this draft is an awesome opportunity to do just that.' Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
