The San Francisco 49ers have continued their offseason theme, locking up every key piece to a long-term deal. This includes quarterback Brock Purdy, who was a hot topic prior to signing a massive extension this week.
Purdy spoke for the first time since signing the deal on Tuesday, offering a simple message: "So here's to the next six years and let's go win now together." It is the exact type of sentiment 49ers fans expected from the franchise quarterback.
Purdy plays the part of a franchise quarterback well, never offering anything but encouraging messages or an intent to work to improve. The quarterback's playbook isn't going to change despite now being among the league's highest-paid starters. The video ends with a simple "Go Niners," with Purdy signing off in fitting fashion.
Brock Purdy's Contract Video is a Reminder of the Quarterback's Focus and Commitment to Winning
San Francisco made the only possible decision to extend Purdy. While the quarterback may not be the physical freak that Josh Allen is or have the legs of Lamar Jackson, the quarterback consistently finds ways to win. Whether it is a key scramble or a clutch throw, Purdy does whatever is needed to help the 49ers find a way to win.
Purdy's message after signing the massive extension serves as a reminder of this. The quarterback is far from the only notable 49er to receive a new deal, with both George Kittle and Fred Warner being handed notable extensions as well.
For Purdy, nothing has changed despite San Francisco turning the page from Deebo Samuel. You still have a great offensive line to work with and a wealth of weapons that should give the 49ers a chance to unseat the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC West. Purdy's extension shows a level of belief from San Francisco that this will prove to be the case.
Extending the quarterback is a clear message of belief that San Francisco's Super Bowl window is not yet closed. Extending key pieces and looking to make value free agency moves, this serves as a reminder that San Francisco shouldn't be overlooked in the 2025 season.
