49ers Gm John Lynch: ‘I want Brock Purdy to be our striker’

<!–>

Indianapolis – San Francisco 49ers General Director General John Lynch to put together pieces after the catastrophic campaign 6-11 begins at this week’s NFL reconnaissance combination.

“At some point you have to reset or at least repeat the calibration,” Lynch said about his team, who missed Postseason for the first time since 2020. “You can’t keep pushing a slipper. I think something good comes out of it. I think we’re the oldest team in football. We tried to make a run in the last year, but I think that’s good.

“Our draft class was a good shift towards that last year. And we will have four choices in the top 100 if they happen to happen as we see – which is always a calculation – and in a whole we will have 10 choices. We are excited to add more youth to the great core of the players we already have.”

Lynch repeated the main priority of the off -season season of his team: signature signature Brock Purdy to a long -term contract. GM said the 49ers are in the preliminary stages of these conversations and that they hope that the two sides can do something before later.

“We started negotiations,” Lynch said. “We are talking. I will not go into negotiations, as is always our attitude. I want Brock to be our striker as long as we are here. And we will leave him on it.

“I think the last thing is that there is no guarantee that we will do something. But my experience was when both sides are motivated, there are enough opportunities for that.”

In the last few seasons, 49ers have elaborated extensions with basic players George Mattle,, Fred Warner,, Deebo Samuel,, Nick barefoot and Brandon Aiyuk.

Purdy enters the last year of his rookie contract and allegedly wants a contract that pays him among the best signal calls in the league, north of $ 50 million a year. He would also like to arrange an arrangement before the off -season team program begins in April.

AND The state of Iowa The product was breaking through the unequal season of 2024 while San Francisco struggled with injuries. But only double mvp Lamar Jackson (106.1) has a better assessment of passers -by than Purdy (104.9) in the last three seasons.

According to Lynch, San Francisco also began negotiations on a new agreement with a tight end. The 31-year-old All-Pro should earn $ 15 million in total fees in the last year of your job.

“We want George to retreat to Niner,” Lynch said. “He is Niner through and through, so we want it to become a reality.”

Lynch also said that another fundamental piece, left accessories Trent WilliamsHe is expected to return to his 15th NFL season.

One basic player who may not come back is Samuel. Lynch confirmed that the team approved the recipient’s request for trade search. Samuel has been left in a $ 71.55 million agreement, which should pay him $ 17.55 million in total for the upcoming season.

San Francisco restructured Samuel’s agreement last September, so if he was traded before June 1, 49ers would take a $ 31.55 million money. Samuel is scheduled for a $ 15.4 million bonus on March 22, which is likely that the 49ers will agree to a store before. The 49ers could save money by release of Samuel with a label after June 1 after the new league year begins on March 12 and before a bonus option reaches, a reduction of the cap to $ 10.75 million over the next two years.

Samuel became a cost when San Francisco signed Ayiyuk last season on a four -year, $ 120 million in contract as a WR1 team. Aiyuk suffered an ACL injury in the 7th week season and is working on rehabilitation.

San Francisco also signed a receiver number 3 Jauan Jennings up to a two -year, $ 15.4 million and selected Ricky Pearsall In the first round of last year’s draft. Samuel, 29, has experienced a drop in production last season, with a total of 51 reception for 670 reception and three results in 15 games. These were the worst veterans numbers throughout the season.

“We’re in a good sense with Deebo,” Lynch said. “He asked for a fresh start and I think we’ll honor it. I don’t like to see great players (leaving), and he’s a great player. He plays a game and a game that changes the game.”

“There is a lot of love. There is a lot of respect there. A lot of common experiences. So let’s let it go, it’s hard … We’re there.”
