The San Francisco 49ers have already been involved in one big trade this offseason. Could they be involved in another?

San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch said the team has started negotiations with quarterback Brock Purdy about a long-term contract and believes both sides want to get a deal done.

Technically, the 49ers could have offered Purdy an extension the day their season ended. That was almost two months ago. Clearly, the 49ers are not in a rush to hand out the most lucrative extension in franchise history. They're being careful and deliberate, as they should be.

Perhaps the most notable aspect of the announcement was new quarterbacks coach Mick Lombardi. He’s replacing Brian Griese, who was initially hired in that position for the 49ers before the 2022 season. It’s unclear whether Griese was let go, walked away, or took a job elsewhere.

John Lynch, entering his ninth season as the 49ers general manager, spoke at the NFL combine about Brock Purdy’s contract extension and Deebo Samuel’s trade request.
