The 49ers are working on a contract extension for Brock Purdy while exploring a potential trade for Deebo Samuel. What’s next for San Francisco?

Lynch also said the team had discussed an extension with tight end George Kittle, per Wagoner. Kittle is entering the final season of his contract with a $22M 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.

San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch said the team has begun negotiations with quarterback Brock Purdy about a long-term contract and believes both sides want to get a deal done. Purdy’s contract extension is one of the main items on the offseason to-do list for San Francisco.
