SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- From the moment Brock Purdy stepped in as their starter in 2022, the San Francisco 49ers have told anyone who would listen that he is not only their quarterback of the present but also their future.
On Friday, the Niners put significant action behind those words, as they were finalizing a five-year, $265 million deal that included $181 million in overall guaranteed money with Purdy, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
At the league meetings in Florida, general manager John Lynch made it clear that he believed a deal was in the offing.
