49ers Owner Admits Making ‘Sacrifices’ for Brock Purdy as Kyle Shanahan Clears Air on QB’s Potential Hold Out

The 49ers’ offseason has been frustrating for fans, with key players dipping and no big moves being made. But according to owner Jed York, there’s a method to the madness—it’s all about making room for Brock Purdy’s payday. “We knew that we had to make sacrifices around the roster to make sure that you can pay a quarterback. It’s just math,” York explained at the NFL Annual League Meeting.

Basically, they’re tightening the budget now so they can lock in their QB1 for the long haul. And while York insists, “I don’t think we’re that far apart. I think we can sit down and get something done. Whenever he’s ready, we’re ready,” the longer this drags out, the more fans start sweating. The Niners already lost key pieces this offseason—losing their QB’s trust would be another brutal blow.

Meanwhile, Kyle Shanahan is shutting down any talk of a Purdy holdout before it even gains traction. While nothing official has come from Purdy’s camp, some are starting to wonder if he’ll take that route if a deal doesn’t get done soon. But Shanahan isn’t buying it. “Brock has always been about winning. He’s not the type to let money get in the way of football,” he said. Still, with quarterback contracts exploding left and right, it makes sense if Purdy wants to cash in while he can. The Niners have already taken enough hits this offseason—the last thing they need is their QB1 sitting out over money. Time to get this deal done before things get messy.
