Around SB Nation: Brock Purdy inks five year extension

The 49ers and Purdy agreed to a five year extension over the weekend with a no-trade clause included.

The San Francisco 49ers found their diamond in the rough when they selected QB Brock Purdy with the final pick of the 2022 NFL Draft. Since taking over as their starting quarterback, Purdy has gone 23-13 in those three years as a starter. Over the weekend, the 49ers rewarded Purdy with a five-year extension which included a no-trade clause. Meaning Purdy is pretty secure with his future and can choose his future team if the 49ers ever decide to trade him. Check out what the Pittsburgh Steelers, Carolina Panthers, and other NFL teams are talking about in our roundup.
