The San Francisco 49ers made a massive commitment to Brock Purdy last week, which officially put an end to any rumors about the quarterback potentially being traded. Even if the Niners were interested in that, there were apparently no suitors.
Purdy signed a five-year, $265 million contract extension with the Niners on Friday that includes $181 million guaranteed. The 25-year-old also received a full no-trade clause as part of the deal.
While a team might try to acquire Purdy in the future, ESPN’s Adam Schefter said during a Tuesday morning appearance on “UNSPORTSMANLIKE Radio” that the 49ers did not receive any trade inquiries this offseason.
“There were multiple meetings between the two sides and I think Brock Purdy’s initial asking price was north of $60 million. He was not gonna get $60 million. He was not gonna become the highest-paid quarterback in football. It didn’t fit into the 49ers’ salary structure,” Schefter said. “Also, there was the idea that at one point in time that maybe the 49ers would have listened to Brock Purdy trade offers. There were no trade offers that came in. There were no teams that really expressed interest.”
