  • Is Brock Purdy going to reset the market?


    Brock Purdy ended up throwing for a single-season franchise record 4,280 passing yards in 2023, but this season was far more underwhelming as the 49ers missed the playoffs.

    The quarterback is now entering the final year of his rookie deal and looks set to become the highest-paid player in franchise history after Dak Prescott’s contract extension in September further inflated the market.

    In a special crossover episode between “The Athletic Football Show” and “Scoop City”, Robert Mays and Dianna Russini discussed Purdy’s looming contract situation.

    A partial transcript has been edited for clarity and length. The full episode is available in “The Athletic Football Show” feed on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.


    Dianna: I think there are some concerns from some people that this isn’t going to get done. And I don’t know if that’s because they’re not sure what that number is going to be or perhaps maybe the 49ers want to flirt with Kirk Cousins. But from everything I know, both sides are very committed to getting this deal done. I think they’re going to begin working on this very soon. This isn’t something they’re going to be pushing off or that we’re going to be discussing during training camp. I think this is something that they’re both in line with. Let’s get the ball rolling on this and figure out where we are going to land on a number. ‘Is Brock Purdy going to reset the market?’, is the question. Is that the (Dak) number his agent’s going to ask for? And is that going to be a number that the 49ers (are) going to be willing to pay?

    Robert: I think it’s twofold. I think that number and the years are probably a consideration too. Dak walks into that negotiation with the Cowboys with the most leverage you can have if you are not one of the three best quarterbacks in the league. If you are not a Josh Allen or Patrick Mahomes-type quarterback, which Dak Prescott is not, I think he walked into that discussion with Dallas with the most leverage you could have in that tier of quarterbacks. I don’t think Brock Purdy is there. Even at a very simple level if this doesn’t work out and maybe he plays out his lame duck year, they can franchise tag him if they want to. There are so many more levers as part of the Brock Purdy discussion than there were with Dallas and Dak. If I’m Purdy’s people and I walk into this, I don’t think I would accept a dollar less than what Jordan Love and Trevor Lawrence got. But I think a markup on that sort of deal and that tier of deal makes more sense to me than giving him $62 million a year.

    Dianna: Correct. Now my concern or question for how this is going to work out is, ‘how much are they going to be willing to sort of work together so they can keep this roster?’ We’ve seen quarterbacks in the past give not a team-friendly deal, but something fair for the 49ers to have some movement.

    Robert: I think it’s about structure more than final numbers. And the 49ers have always been very good with this, they do tons of stuff where they’re creative with the cap. The example I can remember quarterback specific (is) how that Jimmy G (Garoppolo) deal was structured where it was super front-loaded because they had no players on the team. So they gave him a ton of money in year one and as they started to add talent he got cheaper over the life of that deal. That won’t happen here obviously because they have a very expensive roster. But I think the 49ers have shown an ability to be creative.

    Dianna: You bring up Jimmy G… Jimmy had Don Yee as an agent, right? Tons of experience, and he has a bunch of big-name coaches as well. He’s been around forever, obviously was Tom Brady’s agent (and) he reps Sean Payton. Brock (Purdy) has a younger agent, a newer agent so to speak. He’s been doing it for a while, but he doesn’t have a lot of big-name clients yet and this would definitely be his biggest deal. So I wonder how that factors into it because you have professional gains here for him as an agent to try to get his client the most money he possibly can. So, he can continue to show the players around the league, ‘Look what I can do for you.’ How do you think Drew Rosenhaus started? So I’m interested to see how the negotiations will go.

    Robert: Even if they don’t want to reset the market, do you feel the 49ers are comfortable paying him that $55 to $60 million range?

    Dianna: Yeah, I think that’s going to be the number that they wind up sitting at. I think the agent is going to try to get more but they’ll wind up settling in that area.
    Let’s make it clear though, I don’t think Brock Purdy’s sitting there going, ‘I’m demanding I want to be the highest-paid quarterback.’ I think for Brock Purdy if it was up to him he’d probably make a little bit more than he is now as long as he can drive his Toyota. I don’t think this is the type of player that’s in this to be the richest man in football. I think he just wants to be paid what he’s worth and continue to try to improve it and get them a Super Bowl.

    Brock Purdy, the star quarterback for Iowa State, has been making waves in the college football world with his exceptional play and leadership on the field. With his impressive stats and performances, many are starting to wonder if he is going to reset the market for quarterback contracts in the NFL.

    Purdy’s talent and potential have caught the attention of NFL scouts and analysts, who see him as a top prospect for the upcoming draft. If he continues to excel and improve his game, he could potentially become one of the highest-paid players in the league.

    Many are already comparing Purdy to some of the top quarterbacks in the NFL, such as Patrick Mahomes and Aaron Rodgers, due to his ability to make big plays and lead his team to victory. If he can continue to showcase his skills and prove himself at the next level, there is no doubt that he has the potential to reset the market for quarterback contracts.

    Only time will tell if Purdy can live up to the hype and become a game-changer in the NFL. But one thing is for sure – he is definitely a player to keep an eye on as he continues to rise through the ranks of college football.

  • 49ers’ Brock Purdy signs four-year, $196 million contract, ESPN predicts – NBC Sports Bay Area & California


    It seems very likely the 49ers will pay quarterback Brock Purdy this offseason.

    How large of a contract will the artist formerly known as ‘Mr. Irrelevant’ land? That remains to be seen. However, based on the quarterback market over the last two years, many predict the 25-year-old signal caller could be paid close to, if not more than $50 million per season.

    And that includes ESPN’s Dan Graziano, who predicted the figures of Purdy’s impending deal with the 49ers in his latest 2025 offseason predictions column.

    Graziano’s prediction: Four years, $196 million, $112 million guaranteed — which would be 10th among quarterbacks in average annual value.

    “The threat of the franchise tag certainly gives the 49ers some leverage, and if Purdy is not determined to play hardball and max out his contract in the upper-$50-million-per-year range, there’s a deal to be made here,” Graziano wrote.

    “Some of the people I talked to expect that the framework would likely build out from the contract Daniel Jones signed with the Giants two years ago (four years, $160 million with $81 million guaranteed). But it would obviously be adjusted upward for inflation and based on superior performance.”

    This contract would be worth an average annual value of $49 million, which — as Graziano pointed out — is the 10th-highest behind Dallas’ Dak Prescott ($60M), Jacksonville’s Trevor Lawrence ($55M), Green Bay’s Jordan Love ($55M), Cincinnati’s Joe Burrow ($5M), Miami’s Tua Tagovailoa ($53.1M), Detroit’s Jared Goff ($53M), Los Angeles Chargers’ Justin Herbert ($52.5M), Baltimore’s Lamar Jackson ($52M) and Philadelphia’s Jalen Hurts ($51M).

    Purdy is coming off a down 2024 NFL season, completing 300 of 455 passes (65.9 percent) for 3,864 yards with 20 touchdowns and 12 interceptions while recording 323 yards and five touchdowns on the ground in 15 games this season.

    He did, however, lead the 49ers to consecutive NFC Championship Game appearances in each of his first two seasons, one of which resulted in a near Super Bowl LVIII win over the Kansas City Chiefs last year, something most of the quarterbacks on the aforementioned list have not done for their respective teams.

    That has to be worth something, right?

    In a stunning move, the San Francisco 49ers have reportedly signed quarterback Brock Purdy to a massive four-year, $196 million contract, according to ESPN predictions. The deal, which would make Purdy one of the highest-paid players in the league, is a clear sign of the team’s confidence in the young signal-caller.

    Purdy, who was drafted by the 49ers in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft, has shown immense potential in his short time in the league. With a strong arm and impressive accuracy, he has quickly become a fan favorite in San Francisco.

    ESPN’s prediction of Purdy’s massive contract is a testament to his potential and the high expectations the team has for him. If he can continue to develop and improve, he could lead the 49ers to great success in the coming seasons.

    Fans will be eagerly awaiting official confirmation of Purdy’s contract, but if ESPN’s prediction is accurate, it could be a game-changer for the 49ers and their quest for another Super Bowl title. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.

  • Did Sable Leave Brock Lesnar Following Allegations of Being Involved in Vince McMahon-Janel Grant S*x Trafficking Lawsuit? | WWE News


    Did Sable Leave Brock Lesnar Following Allegations of Being Involved in Vince McMahon-Janel Grant S*x Trafficking Lawsuit?

    Sable has been married to Brock Lesnar for many years now. However, she has not made any statement in regard to her husband allegedly being involved in the high-profile Janel Grant and Vince McMahon sex trafficking case.
    Brock Lesnar was a top fixture for WWE television programming for many years. However, the fans have not seen The Beast Incarnate since the 2023 SummerSlam event, where he was defeated by Cody Rhodes. This was due to Lesnar being allegedly involved in the lawsuit filed by former WWE employee Janel Grant against Vince McMahon and John Laurinitus on the charges of sex trafficking and sexual misconduct.
    WWE has also distanced themselves from Brock Lesnar taking him off television for more than a year and removing major references of him. Amidst the entire scandal, all attention has been paid to Vince McMahon and Janel Grant. None has paid attention to the effect that could have had on Lesnar’s family, especially on his relationship with his wife, former WWE superstar Sable.
    After all, Lesnar was alleged to have signed a WWE contract in 2021 offered by Vince McMahon, who shared explicit photos of Janel Grant and even reported engaging in sexual acts with her as part of the deal. This has left many wondering about the fact that it had strained his relationship with his wife, who has been out of the limelight for years.

    Has Sable left Brock Lesnar following allegations in the Vince McMahon-Janel Grant scandal?

    As of this date, there have been no reports of Brock Lesnar and Sable splitting up. In fact, they still seem to be leading a happy life. The former WWE Champion and Women’s Champion were spotted together backstage at a concert together in December 2024.

    This would mean that the couple is still very much together, as the allegations against Lesnar came to light last year. Moreover, this was also Sable’s first public appearance after being away from the spotlight and WWE for years.

    Brock Lesnar & Sable have been married for a long time

    Before Sable met Brock Lesnar in WWE, she was married to former wrestler Marc Mero. The couple were together for ten years. However, Sable became involved in an extra-martial affair with Lesnar around the early 2000s. Sable divorced Marc Mero in 2004 and married the former UFC Heavyweight Champion in 2006.
    With Brock Lesnar and Sable still being together after their photo surfaced on social media, it remains to be seen either of them would be responding to the allegations made against Lesnar in the Vince McMahon-Janel Grant case.

    There have been rumors circulating in the wrestling world that Sable may have left her husband, Brock Lesnar, following allegations of her involvement in a s*x trafficking lawsuit against Vince McMahon and Janel Grant.

    The lawsuit alleges that McMahon and Grant were involved in a s*x trafficking ring that exploited young women in the wrestling industry. Sable’s name was brought up in connection to the lawsuit, causing speculation that she may have been involved in the illegal activities.

    While there has been no concrete evidence to support these claims, fans have been buzzing about the possibility of Sable leaving Lesnar amidst the controversy. The couple has always been private about their personal lives, so it’s unclear if there is any truth to these rumors.

    As of now, neither Sable nor Lesnar have made any public statements addressing the allegations or their relationship status. Until more information comes to light, the wrestling world will continue to speculate about the future of this power couple. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.

  • Brock Lesnar named in amended complaints against Vince McMahon; alleged details disclosed


    New details have emerged in Janel Grant’s lawsuit against former WWE CEO Vince McMahon, and Brock Lesnar has been named. The complaints were amended to add the alleged details.

    Brock Lesnar has been absent from WWE for quite some time. After the lawsuit emerged against Vince McMahon, he was alluded to be a part of the complaint, although he was not explicitly named. That has now changed, as Brock Lesnar has been named in the amended complaints.

    Parts of the section where he is named can be seen below:

    The entire complaint can be seen here.

    The complaints include Vince McMahon allegedly offering explicit services from Janel Grant to Brock Lesnar to help him sign a new contract. Grant allegedly was also supposed to create explicit content for Lesnar, which Vince McMahon then supposedly sent to the star.

    On top of that, Lesnar was seemingly named by McMahon when he allegedly messaged Grant, while talking about how part of the star’s new deal with the company seemingly included an encounter with her.

    Among the many things, she had to send a video of herself in different acts as allegedly demanded by Lesnar. The complaints also state that McMahon tried to organize an encounter between Lesnar and Grant.

    “’U have to take a flight to Greenville South Carolina this Monday. Even if it’s just to C Brock.’”

    While on one occasion, their encounter was allegedly canceled due to Lesnar being too intoxicated, on another occasion, the statement says that a snowstorm got in the way of their meeting.

    The complaint also contains several screenshots of text messages between McMahon and Grant, as well as others. It remains to be seen how the lawsuit concludes in the time to come.
