In the NFL it is not common for players to interfere with their colleagues’ contractual matters. Puka Nacau now broke this unwritten law and commented on the negotiations between Brock Purdy and the San Francisco 49ers.
Purdy wants to sign his first major NFL contract in the offseason after “only” $ 2.56 million in his previous three professional years. The 49ers-Quarterback certainly hopes to be as close as possible to record holder DAK Prescott to move in, which collects 60 million dollars per season as the best paid NFL player.
Puka Nacau Meanwhile, this desired idea does not consider to be feasible. In Julian Edelman’s podcast “Games with Names” he was asked whether Purdy could scratch the 50 million mark at the division rival. “I don’t think. I think of the mid -40s,” replied the wide receiver of the Los Angeles Rams Then and probably said that the last pick of the NFL Draft 2022 should be satisfied with just under $ 45 million a year – especially since he would benefit from sport
“I think he looks wise. You still have a chance to be in your window. And I think if he chooses a 5 (at least $ 50 million, note of the red), the window closes,” said Nacau.
NFL team focuses on Purdy
From the point of view of many NFL experts, the title window in the Bay Area has already largely closed. The 49ers finally hit a savings course in the offseason and, in the course of this, submitted several supports of the team such as Diebo Samuel or Javon Hargrave.
Owner Jed York meanwhile justified this radical step a few weeks ago at the annual league meeting with the targeted purdy extension.
“I think it is great. Especially in combination with coach Kyle Shanahan and what we have, he is a damn good quarterback,” said York and added to the bloodletting. “With this change you have to make sacrifices somewhere. We made this decision together and we hope that we will make someone the best paid player in the history of our franchise.”
