San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch doesn't know when a contract extension for quarterback Brock Purdy will be done but he said Wednesday that discussions toward that outcome have already begun.
Speaking to reporters at the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis, Lynch confirmed that conversations between the Niners and Purdy are underway, and the focus continues to be on making Purdy the franchise's quarterback for the long haul.
"We have started negotiations," Lynch said. "We're talking. I won't go into negotiations like always is our stance. We want Brock to be our quarterback as long as we are here and beyond, and we'll leave it at that.
