Brock Purdy isn't the only player whose contract the 49ers want to extend this offseason. George Kittle is entering the final season of his deal as well

San Francisco 49ers quarterbacks coach and quarterback Brock Purdy's mentor, Brian Griese, decided to end his coaching career after three seasons.

While the NFL combine is all about looking at future prospects, San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch spent much of his combine media availability discussing some of the biggest names already on his roster.

San Francisco 49ers GM John Lynch provided an updated on Brock Purdy's contract situation, Christian McCaffrey's health and Deebo Samuel's trade ask.

General manager John Lynch said last week that “there are no guarantees” the San Francisco 49ers will sign Brock Purdy to a contract extension this offseason and suggested the Pro Bowl quarterback didn’t have an out if he was unable to cash in.

Purdy made the starting quarterback spot his own. He played 48 games across four seasons and threw 12,170 passing yards and 81 touchdowns. The dual-threat quarterback also gained 1,177 rushing yards and scored 19 touchdowns. Despite those impressive numbers, nobody was prepared to offer Purdy a rookie contract.

Lynch also said that the team has discussed an extension with tight end George Kittle, per Wagoner. Kittle is entering the final season of his contract with a $22MM cap hit. The 49ers have plenty of cap space, so extending Kittle to free up money isn’t an immediate priority, but the team would like to keep him past 2025 — his age-32 season.

San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch said the team has started negotiations with quarterback Brock Purdy about a long-term contract and believes both sides want to get a deal done.
