And with the NFL Draft quickly approaching, one 49ers reporter <a href="https://www.si.com/nfl/49ers/news/will-49ers-trade-brock-purdy-titans-draft-night" rel="noopener">floated the possibility</a> of the team trading Purdy on draft night.</p><p>“Purdy’s agent seems to think his client is worth $60 million per season simply because that’s what <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/san-francisco-49ers/49ers-rumors-brock-purdy-hit-dak-prescott-reality-contract-talks">the Cowboys pay Dak Prescott</a>,” 49ers on SI’s Grant Cohn said. “The 49ers probably are willing to pay him $50 million per season, but $60 million per could be too much.</p><p>“If Purdy and his agent refuse to budge, the 49ers could give them permission to seek a trade. And the Tennessee Titans just might be interested.”</p><p>Cohn suggested the Titans draft Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter with the No. 1 overall pick and trade for Purdy, who would then get a big extension in Tennessee. The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/tennessee-titans/titans-rumors-godfather-trade-offer-needed-not-take-cam-ward">Titans have been linked to Miami quarterback Cam Ward</a> for much of the draft process because of a glaring team need.</p><p>In Cohn’s hypothetical, the Titans, in exchange for Purdy, would trade a 2025 first-round pick (which they would need to acquire if they draft Carter first overall) and a 2026 second-round pick that could become a first-rounder depending on the Titans and Purdy’s success. San Francisco would then either draft a quarterback like Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders or sign or trade for a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/san-francisco-49ers/49ers-rumors-insider-floats-brock-purdy-trade-aaron-rodgers-signing">veteran like Aaron Rodgers</a>, Kirk Cousins, or Mac Jones.</p><p>It would seem unlikely that any of that would happen, though. While the 49ers are probably hesitant to give Purdy one of the biggest contracts in NFL history, they are not in a great position to let a 25-year-old quarterback who led them to a Super Bowl just over a year ago walk.</p><p>Purdy’s true value has been the subject of much debate over the past few years. After being selected with the last pick in the 2022 draft, Purdy shockingly had success when he was forced to become the 49ers’ starter as a rookie. He and San Francisco made it to the NFC Championship, but early into the game, he tore his UCL, knocking him out of the game and dooming the 49ers.</p><p>The following year, Purdy was named the starting quarterback before the season, and he excelled in the role. He led the NFL in passer rating and helped the Niners win 12 games, the NFC West, and reach the Super Bowl for the first time since 2020.</p><p>If Purdy and the 49ers can’t come to a deal before this summer, it would not be a surprise if he holds in or out, much like teammates Trent Williams and Brandon Aiyuk did last season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Regardless if they plucked them from the first or seventh round (Brock Purdy regarding the latter).</p><p>April’s upcoming draft, however, presents a far pivotal one for general manager John Lynch. The GM and head coach Kyle Shanahan need this draft class to reignite enthusiasm for the 49ers. San Francisco endured a rough offseason — <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/san-francisco-49ers/49ers-news-san-francisco-blockbuster-deebo-samuel-trade-commanders">from trading Deebo Samuel</a> to losing top cornerback Charvarius Ward.</p><p>The Samuel move handed the 49ers an extra draft pick for the fifth round. But we’re thinking about selection No. 11 here. The 49ers are already urged <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/san-francisco-49ers/san-francisco-49ers-urged-draft-play-wrecker-replace-key-departures">to nab Ole Miss defensive tackle Walter Nolen</a> at that spot. Even <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/san-francisco-49ers/49ers-rumors-insider-tabs-texas-award-winner-over-patrick-surtain-ii-like-michigan-star">Texas star Jahdae Barron is a new contender at 11th overall</a>.</p><p>There are prospects Lynch, Shanahan and company must avoid, though. It’s time to dive into who’s not worth taking with the 11th selection of the draft based off fit, potential and overall play.</p><h2><b>Shemar Stewart, edge, Texas A&amp;M </b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Shemar-Stewart-of-Texas-AM.jpg"><figcaption>Vasha Hunt-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Stewart brings astounding athletic gifts. There’s no disputing that especially when tracing back to his NFL Combine performance.</p><p>But let’s not let the athleticism fool us when watching his game closely. Stewart looked like he didn’t bring a pass rush plan on Saturdays and trusted his athleticism more. This defensive line requires bringing a field plan and attacking with it.</p><p>Furthermore, Stewart exposed his chest too much which got blockers to beat him immediately. Defensive line coach Kris Kocurek would need to spend a lot of teaching time with Stewart if the 49ers draft him.</p><p>He’s equipped with a high athletic ceiling, but his lack of fundamentals makes him more of a project here. He’s <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6246631/2025/04/02/nfl-mock-draft-2025-bruce-feldman/" rel="noopener">projected to fall all the way to No. 31</a> to the Kansas City Chiefs per The Athletic’s Bruce Feldman Wednesday.</p><h2><b>Tetairoa McMillan, wide receiver, Arizona </b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Tetairoa-McMillan-Arizona-football.jpg"><figcaption>© Rob Gray-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The 49ers can address Samuel’s potential replacement at No. 11. McMillan, however, is simply not it. Not after his widely-debated pro day.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/ncaa-football/arizona-football-news-tetairoa-mcmillan-drops-nfl-draft-rankings-disappointing-40">McMillan delivered a disappointing 4.55 time</a> in the 40-yard dash. He even drew confusion following the report <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/ncaa-football/conflicting-40-times-for-arizona-wr-tetairoa-mcmillan-has-nfl-fans-confused">McMillan blazed his 40 in 4.48</a>.</p><p>Shanahan and Lynch can fawn over McMillan’s combination of elite size and red zone production. But the Niners have Jauan Jennings already as the tall inside-the-20 target. Tight end George Kittle also serves a similar role.</p><p>Oh, this is a yards-after-catch offense that turned Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk into stars. McMillan’s concerning speed makes him a longshot to last in the Bay Area.</p><h2><b>Will Johnson, cornerback, Michigan </b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Will-Johnson-of-Michigan.jpg"><figcaption>Junfu Han / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>He’s slowly becoming the McMillan for cornerbacks. Another words — Johnson brings his own concerns over how fast he really is.</p><p>He reportedly runs between the 4.45 to 4.48 range. But that type of speed becomes worrisome for two reasons: The NFC West wideouts the 49ers already face and the absence of Talanoa Hufanga — another massive free agency loss.</p><p>Johnson, though, brings a strong set of hands that forces interceptions (took three back for touchdowns in his career). Many around Michigan also revealed he prepares for offenses like a cornerback.</p><p>But the 2024 Jim Thorpe winner Barron is garnering more hype off his speed and versatility. He’s a smaller prospect but plays with a mean streak and faced SEC competition. Baron is a blend of speed and picks compared to Johnson.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

However, Feldman hints at the idea that the 49ers <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6246631/2025/04/02/nfl-mock-draft-2025-bruce-feldman/?source=user_shared_article" rel="noopener">are more interested</a> in Texas Longhorns standout Jahdae Barron.</p><p>“Charvarius Ward was one of the many big losses the 49ers had this offseason. The feeling here is that general manager John Lynch will opt for [Jahdae] Barron over Michigan’s Will Johnson. The 5-11, 194-pound Barron is the smaller DB, but he’s faster. He won the Jim Thorpe Award as the nation’s top DB, making five interceptions and 67 tackles.”</p><p>An unnamed Big Ten assistant who has experience coaching in the NFL compared Johnson to Denver Broncos cornerback Patrick Surtain II. Surtain, who just won the 2024 Defensive Player of the Year, is considered one of, if not, the best defensive back in the league. Despite that, there are some concerns regarding the Michigan star’s speed. It could be a reason why the 49ers are rumored to be more interested in Jahdae Barron.</p><p>“[Will Johnson] is built like Surtain, like he is a beautiful athlete,” said one Big Ten assistant who has coached in the NFL. “I think he moves well, has really good ball skills, and you know he is very smart, but this year we thought he looked a little checked out on film. He wasn’t as physical. We knew we could get double moves on him, and it was open.”</p><p>Barron, who is 23-years-old is viewed as a Top 2 cornerback in the 2025 NFL Draft class. He played for Texas for five seasons and emerged as a star for the Longhorns by his third year. The 2024 Jim Thorpe Award winner finished the 2024 season with 67 total tackles (46 solo), five interceptions (career-high), and a sack.</p><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/san-francisco-49ers/49ers-news-kyle-shanahan-revelation-upcoming-signing-crucial-competition">49ers own the No. 11 overall pick</a> in the upcoming draft. It puts the franchise directly in range to potentially select Barron with its first pick.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

In Field Yates’ latest mock draft for ESPN,<a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/draft2025/insider/story/_/id/44447028/2025-nfl-mock-draft-field-yates-two-rounds-64-picks-predictions" rel="noopener"> the NFL analyst foresees Nolen being selected 11th overall </a>by the San Francisco 49ers.</p><p>In Yates’ opinion, Nolen will be the second interior defensive lineman off the board behind Michigan defensive tackle Mason Graham. Nolen is a smaller hybrid pass rusher than the 330-pound run-stopping Graham. Although he’s a bonafide first-rounder, he’s a tier below where current Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter was as a prospect two years ago. Here’s what Yates had to say about Nolen to the 49ers. </p><p>“The 49ers have major work to do along the defensive line and perhaps a few other spots after losing multiple starters on both sides of the ball this offseason. Nolen would be a play-wrecker for them. He is overwhelmingly powerful and explosive, and he could help replace veterans Maliek Collins and Javon Hargrave. Nolen had 6.5 sacks in his lone season at Ole Miss after two years at Texas A&amp;M. In a league that has put an increased premium on pass-rushing defensive tackles, he would provide San Francisco with a valuable building block.”</p><h2><b>Walter Nolen is one of the most sought-after 2025 defensive tackle prospects </b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Walter-Nolen-1.jpg"><figcaption>Petre Thomas-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Measuring in at 6-foot-4, 296 pounds, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/ncaa-football/ole-miss-footballs-potential-1st-round-pick-declares-for-2025-nfl-draft" rel="noopener">Nolen is an impressive pass rusher</a> with a quick first step which allows him to shoot the gap and directly pressure dropback passers up the middle. During the 2024 season, Nolen logged 6.5 sacks, 35 pressures, and 30 stops.</p><p>He’s an ideal pick for the 49ers, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/49ers-news-release-javon-hargrave-but-theres-catch" rel="noopener">who recently released Hargrave after two seasons</a>. For coming to San Francisco, Hargrave was plucked from Philadelphia, where he established himself as one of the league’s best interior past rushers in 2022. Unfortunately, in two seasons with San Francisco, he was unable to replicate that success. </p><p>The 49ers also released defensive tackle Maliek Collins, 29. A year ago, the 49ers also declined to resign defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw, their first-round pick in the 2020 draft. Presumably, that gap on the interior of their defensive line is what Nolen should address. Handling their dearth of interior defensive linemen is long overdue, even if it’s not as appealing as a quick edge rusher or identifying a long-term solution at left tackle.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Unfortunately for those people, the rumors as false, as general manager John Lynch <a href="https://x.com/MikeGarafolo/status/1907430336771789072" rel="noopener">shared an update</a> on the wide receiver.</p><p>“At the league meeting this week, 49ers GM John Lynch said he expected WR Brandon Aiyuk to stick in 2025,” NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “His 2026 option-bonus guarantee triggered yesterday. He’s owed $24.875m this year, $27m in ’26. The $76m that was effectively guaranteed at signing is now fully guaranteed.”</p><p>Aiyuk missed most of the year last season after tearing his ACL and MCL. There is still no update on when he will return to the field, but when he is back, he should be the top receiver in the room with Deebo Samuel Sr. being traded to the Washington Commanders.</p><p>As Aiyuk is sidelined, receivers such as Ricky Pearsall, Jauan Jennings, and Demarcus Robinson will have to step up.</p><h2><b>49ers plan to keep Brandon Aiyuk a part of team</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Brandon-Aiyuk.jpg"><figcaption>Cary Edmondson-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/san-francisco-49ers/49ers-gm-john-lynch-confirms-brandon-aiyuk-trade-plans">Lynch was asked at the NFL annual meeting</a> if they’ve had <a href="https://www.si.com/nfl/49ers/news/john-lynch-says-49ers-will-not-trade-brandon-aiyuk-this-year" rel="noopener">conversations with teams</a> about trading Aiyuk, according to Grant Cohn of Sports Illustrated.</p><p>“There’s probably spillover from last year when we were going through his contract thing, and a number of teams became interested in Brandon,” Lynch said. “People called, you always take calls from folks, but we’ve always been interested in Brandon being part of the Niners. We made that decision when we signed him. It’s good to hear that he’s tracking well with his progress. He’s working really hard to do so, and I expect fully that Aiyuk will be a part of us moving forward.”</p><p>With how large Aiyuk’s contract was, they weren’t able to keep some of their role players during free agency this season. With Purdy set to have a big payday as well, it’ll be interesting to see what moves the 49ers make to help improve their team.</p><p>Though Aiyuk seems like an easy trade target, the 49ers are lacking a receiver on the team that can be the go-to target. Aiyuk may be the closest to that, but he has to get on the field first, and nobody knows when that will be.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

After he endured an ugly 2024 campaign, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/49ers-news-mac-jones-gives-kyle-shanahan-his-flowers-after-sf-signing">head coach Kyle Shanahan</a> revealed that the team plans on bringing in some competition for kicker Jake Moody by signing a player in free agency after the 2025 NFL draft takes place.</p><p>After being selected in the third round of the 2023 NFL draft, Moody enjoyed a strong rookie campaign with the Niners, making 21 of his 25 field goal attempts, while leading the league by making 60 of his 61 extra point attempts. He took a big step back in 2024, though, hitting just 24 of his 34 field goal attempts, leading to Shanahan deciding that they need to <a href="https://x.com/MaioccoNBCS/status/1907051516206154146" rel="noopener">bring in some competition</a> for him ahead of the 2025 season.</p><p>“The 49ers plan to bring in a veteran kicker after the draft to compete with Jake Moody, coach Kyle Shanahan said,” Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports shared in a post on X, formerly Twitter.</p><h2><b>Kyle Shanahan, 49ers set to reevaluate Jake Moody, kicker position</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/49ers-kicker-Jake-Moody.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The 49ers had to feel good about Moody after his strong rookie campaign, but he did not look nearly as good in 2024, as San Francisco fell apart in all three phases of the game. Moody did suffer a high ankle sprain that caused him to miss three games during the season, so there’s a chance that could have been an underlying cause for his struggles, but Shanahan isn’t taking any chances.</p><p>Considering how San Francisco invested a third-round pick in Moody, they aren’t going to give up on him just yet, as he will clearly have the inside track to win the kicker job over whoever the team brings into town. But just a year after it seemed like the Niners had their kicker of the future, Moody’s job isn’t exactly secure, and this will be an interesting position battle to watch as training camp unfolds.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

After guiding the 49ers through a moderate free agency, general manager John Lynch enters the 2025 NFL Draft with the No. 11 overall pick.</p><p>Ahead of the draft, the 49ers spent much of free agency addressing their complicated cap situation. To make room for a potential Brock Purdy extension, the team released veterans Leonard Floyd, Maliek Collins, Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles and Javon Hargrave. San Francisco also <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/49ers-news-san-francisco-blockbuster-deebo-samuel-trade-commanders">traded Deebo Samuel to the Washington Commanders</a> while temporarily cutting Kyle Juszczyk to sign him to a new deal.</p><p>In addition to the roster cuts, the 49ers also allowed a handful of their internal free agents to find a new home in free agency. Talanoa Hufanga, Charvarius Ward, Dre Greenlaw and Aaron Banks headlined the list of 10 players the team allowed to walk in the offseason. Safe to say, San Francisco will begin 2025 with a noticeably different roster.</p><p>Through the madness of the 49ers’ roster purge, Lynch did not have the resources to make any big acquisitions in free agency. The front office added 11 new players in free agency, but none that would significantly change the outlook of any roster. If the team is to bring in a key game-changer over the offseason, it will have to be at the 2025 NFL Draft, beginning with the No. 11 pick.</p><p>Overall, San Francisco has <a href="https://www.49ers.com/news/2025-nfl-draft-san-francisco-49ers-full-list-of-draft-picks" rel="noopener">11 draft selections</a> to use across seven rounds, including four compensatory picks. Of the 11 picks, six will come within the first four rounds. If the 49ers wish to get themselves back to title contention, Lynch will have to nail their first-round pick.</p><h2><b>CB Will Johnson, Michigan</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Will-Johnson-of-Michigan.jpg"><figcaption>Junfu Han / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>By losing Ward, the 49ers watched a key part of their renowned defense walk away. With Ward being open about the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/49ers-news-charvarius-ward-california-trauma-impact-free-agency">personal struggles living in California</a> causes his family, letting him leave on good terms was an easy call to make. Yet, with Robert Saleh bringing his man-heavy defense back to San Francisco, the team desperately needs an elite, lockdown cornerback to replace Ward.</p><p>While Travis Hunter will technically be the first cornerback taken, many view Michigan’s Will Johnson as the position’s true top prospect. In his three years with the Wolverines, Johnson notably did not allow a single touchdown on <a href="https://www.pff.com/nfl/players/will-johnson/158536/draft-profile" rel="noopener">810 total coverage snaps</a>, per Pro Football Focus. Even in an injury-riddled 2024 campaign, he never allowed higher than a 66.5 passer rating when targeted.</p><p>If selected by the 49ers, Johnson has a clear path to immediately become the team’s top cornerback. Renardo Green and Tre Brown are currently projected to be the team’s starters. Both players have proven to be solid starters but lack the bonafide lockdown traits Saleh tends to rely on in his defense. Johnson might not be that guy off the bat, as rookie corners tend to struggle early, but he has all the physical attributes and natural instincts to develop into an elite defender.</p><p>With Johnson currently projected to fall anywhere from No. 8 to No. 15, he has to be the top name on Lynch’s mind. Most of the teams in the top 10 will enter the draft with offensive intentions, making it likely Johnson will fall to the 49ers at No. 11. If he is available and San Francisco passes on him, Lynch could regret that move for years to come.</p><h2><b>DE Mykel Williams, Georgia</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Mykel-Williams_b576e4.jpg"><figcaption>Brett Davis-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The 49ers’ offseason roster cleansing unsurprisingly left many holes on the roster, one of them being at defensive end. Nick Bosa is coming off another solid outing, but releasing Floyd created a vacancy Lynch needs to fill to supplement his star pass rusher. Without doing so, San Francisco would likely start Yetur Gross-Matos, who has never obtained more than 4.5 sacks in a single season.</p><p>Adding a player like Adbul Carter would be perfect to slot into a lineup with Bosa. Unfortunately for the 49ers, their No. 11 pick falls way out of Carter’s range, making Georgia’s Mykel Williams a more likely target. Williams is seen by most as the second-best edge rusher of the 2025 NFL Draft class after recording 8.5 tackles for loss in just 11 games in 2024.</p><p>Williams does not have the numbers to match some of his peers, but his elite potential is only bested by Carter. Over 30 percent of his career tackles at Georgia <a href="https://www.nfl.com/prospects/mykel-williams/32005749-4c45-4914-9119-2392d0f4f0ef" rel="noopener">resulted in a loss</a>, per NFL.com. He is slightly more of a raw prospect than many may like at No. 11, but the upside he has as Bosa’s potential running mate is incredible.</p><p>Given the 49ers’ current roster outlook, there are other holes in the lineup that need to be filled more than defensive end. But with most of the team’s recent success rooted with its pass rush, Lynch may feel the need to address the position early. If it is not Johnson at cornerback, San Francisco needs to take a long look at Williams as a potential anchor of Saleh’s 4-3 defense.</p><h2><b>DT Derrick Harmon, Oregon</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Derrick-Harmon.jpg"><figcaption>Kirby Lee-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The 49ers need to add interior defensive linemen in the 2025 NFL Draft even more than they need an edge rusher. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/49ers-news-release-javon-hargrave-but-theres-catch">Releasing Hargrave</a> and Collins leaves them without much depth in the trenches, an area that was already weak before their recent moves. No defensive tackles are currently projected to fall in the No. 11 range, potentially making a pick somewhat of a stretch, but the urgency to fill the gap is at an all-time high.</p><p>Behind Michigan’s Mason Graham, Oregon nose tackle Derrick Harmon is viewed by most as the second-best interior lineman of the class. As a prolific run-stopper, Harmon has the skill set that the 49ers need at the heart of their defensive line. As a senior, Harmon tallied 45 tackles, five sacks and two forced fumbles, elite numbers that made him a second-team AP All-American 10 tackle.</p><p>In Harmon, the 49ers would get a physical tone-setter in the middle of their line. Although all other areas of its defense has remained elite under Kyle Shanahan, San Francisco has not had a stout defensive tackle since it traded DeForest Buckner to the Indianapolis Colts. Harmon’s quick hands allow him to provide occasional pressure up the middle, but his tantalizing size and high football IQ are what would truly elevate Saleh’s defense.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He was selected in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft, and that doesn’t happen very often for kickers. Kickers are typically late selections or undrafted free agents, but that’s how good Moody was in college. He was nearly automatic while playing under current Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh at Michigan, but <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/san-francisco-49ers/49ers-news-kyle-shanahan-changes-tune-jake-moody-brutal-week-17">last season was not kind to Moody</a>.</p><p>Jake Moody went 23/25 on field goals during his first season as the starting kicker at Michigan, and he went 29/35 the next year. He also never missed an extra point while playing for the Wolverines. Moody had outstanding range as he hit a 59-yard field goal against TCU in the 2022 College Football Playoff, and he also had the clutch gene. Moody saved Michigan’s perfect season in 2022 with a last-second field goal to lift the Wolverines over Illinois.</p><p>Moody was as good as it gets in college, but he struggled mightily last year for the 49ers. His first season was solid as he went 21-25, but a 24-34 mark last year was not up to par. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/san-francisco-49ers/49ers-news-kyle-shanahans-confident-jake-moody-take-catch-49er-fans-attention">Moody especially struggled toward the end of the season</a> as he was 1-5 in his final three games.</p><p>A lot of people are doubting Moody right now, but Jim Harbaugh saw the young kicker go through some similar stretches at Michigan, too. Moody always bounced back, and Harbaugh <a href="https://x.com/LombardiHimself/status/1906693928620867920" rel="noopener">doesn’t expect that to change</a> in the NFL.</p><p>“He’s a very steady, confident player in his ability,” Harbaugh said on Monday, according to a post from David Lombardi. “I’ve seen him miss a few and then come back and making 14, 17 straight. I can’t remember exactly what it was. Yeah, I would think that that is gonna repeat itself.”</p><p>Moody has shown that he can be an outstanding kicker, but it is a mental game. Kickers get hot, and kickers get cold. Moody has experienced it all throughout his career both in college and the pros, and like Harbaugh said, he has always done a good job of bouncing back.</p><p>Jake Moody hasn’t had a chance to bounce back from his cold streak yet as it happened at the end of the season. When a kicker is going through a phase like that, the offseason is sometimes the best possible thing that could happen. Moody has had a long time to put those misses behind him, and when the new season rolls around for the 49ers, he will have a fresh start and a perfect opportunity to bounce back.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

And despite a long-term contract extension, rumors have popped up again that John Lynch will pull the trigger on an Aiyuk trade this offseason.</p><p>After a lengthy hold-in, during which Aiyuk attended team activities but did not participate in practices, the 49ers and Aiyuk came to an agreement on a four-year, $120 million contract, nearly two-thirds of which is essentially guaranteed. However,<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/san-francisco-49ers/49ers-news-brandon-aiyuk-out-season-knee-injury"> Aiyuk suffered season-ending ACL and MCL injuries</a> in October, which could keep him sidelined for a considerable portion of the 2025 season.</p><p>As a result of that, plus the tense negotiations last offseason that appeared to be heading toward a trade to the Pittsburgh Steelers, rumors have circulated that the 49ers will part ways with Aiyuk in a trade sooner rather than later. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/san-francisco-49ers/49ers-rumors-brandon-aiyuk-trade-doused-cold-water-unofficial-deadline">Lynch has thrown a bit of proverbial cold water</a> on that, though, by telling reporters <a href="https://www.si.com/nfl/49ers/news/john-lynch-says-49ers-will-not-trade-brandon-aiyuk-this-year" rel="noopener">that he expects</a> Aiyuk to be a part of the team in 2025.</p><p>“There’s probably spillover from last year when we were going through his contract thing, and a number of teams became interested in Brandon,” Lynch said of having <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/san-francisco-49ers/nfl-rumors-49ers-talk-with-several-teams-on-brandon-aiyuk-trade-but-theres-a-catch">conversations about Aiyuk with other teams</a> [h/t 49ers on SI’s Grant Cohn]. “People called, you always take calls from folks, but we’ve always been interested in Brandon being part of the Niners. We made that decision when we signed him. It’s good to hear that he’s tracking well with his progress. He’s working really hard to do so, and I expect fully that Aiyuk will be a part of us moving forward.”</p><p>As long as Aiyuk is on the 49ers’ roster Tuesday, he will earn $22.855 million as his roster bonus becomes fully guaranteed. It is expected, according to reports, that <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/san-francisco-49ers/nfl-rumors-why-49ers-making-brandon-aiyuk-trade-unlikely">Aiyuk will remain with the 49ers</a> throughout the 2025 season, in part due to the 49ers allocating so much money to Aiyuk.</p><p>If the 49ers were to trade Aiyuk before June 1, they would owe $18.4 million in dead cap this season. That figure drops to $4.6 million if they trade him after June 1, although they would the remaining portion ($13.8 million) next season. Still, it is reportedly unlikely they will move him this season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The 49ers quarterback is set for a big payday, and general manager John Lynch would love to <a href="https://x.com/LombardiHimself/status/1906718520668291159" rel="noopener">get the contract done</a> before their offseason program.</p><p>“Brock wants to be with us. We want Brock to be with us. When that’s the case, these things get done… Hopefully, it happens really soon this offseason,” Lynch said via reporter David Lombardi.</p><p>“John Lynch points out what we’ve discussed past few days: If/when Brock Purdy deal is finalized, 49ers will again be a top-2 or top-3 salary cash spending team in the NFL. The offseason is far from over,” Lombardi <a href="https://x.com/LombardiHimself/status/1906717916738830554" rel="noopener">wrote on X</a>, formerly Twitter.</p><p>The way Purdy has produced for the 49ers over the past few seasons, it comes as no surprise that he will be getting a big contract extension. It also makes sense why Lynch would want to get something done sooner rather than later because things could get more complicated as time passes. The 49ers probably want to fill out their roster, and after signing Purdy, they’ll know what kind of cap space they’re working with.</p><h2>What will a contract extension look like for Brock Purdy?</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Brock-Burdy.jpg"><figcaption>Sergio Estrada-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>When looking at the current landscape of quarterbacks with large contracts, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/san-francisco-49ers/49ers-rumors-insider-brock-purdy-upper-contract-range-68-million-annually">Purdy can definitely negotiate</a> something that could make him one of the highest-paid in the league. Also, with an increase in the league’s cap space, some are thinking he could command something over $55 million annually, according to Lombardi.</p><p>“So we’re looking at a range of $58 to $68 million per year for Brock Purdy, because that is where 21 to 25 percent of a $279.2 million salary cap would be,” Lombardi said on his YouTube channel. “You look at all the quarterback contracts on the A-list level that have been signed over the course of the past half-decade, they’ve all fallen between 20.8 percent and 24.5 percent of that year’s salary cap.”</p><p>Quarterbacks such as Dak Prescott and Trevor Lawrence were able to get big contracts, and it’s safe to say that Purdy has accomplished more than them over the past few years. The only hope for the 49ers is that Purdy lives up to the contract and that they can get back to being a competitive team after a disappointing year last season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Coming off a disappointing 6-11 season, Brock Purdy claims the 49ers were victims of fatigue.</p><p>Without Brandon Aiyuk and Christian McCaffrey for most of the season, many believed injuries were the cause of San Francisco’s letdown performance. However, Purdy thinks the aftermath of a Super Bowl loss <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07hjgnzAFBg&amp;t=1s" rel="noopener">took a bigger toll</a> on the team.</p><p>“Last year, man, guys were tired,” Purdy said on the “Built 4 More” podcast. “That season is no joke. You go from July, training and everything all the way to the end of February. Then you really get five weeks off or so, and you gotta report back, and then you’re going again. It’s like, dude, guys are tired, they’re still beat up. For these guys getting older, it’s not easy.”</p><p>Purdy said that he felt “spoiled” with the 49ers making the playoffs in each of his first two seasons. He admitted to taking the Super Bowl and playoffs for granted and learning a tough lesson the hard way.</p><p>The Kansas City Chiefs, who beat the 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII, did not have any of the same issues.

Purdy, a former “Mr. Irrelevant,” remains the lowest-paid starting quarterback in the league ahead of the final year of his rookie contract.</p><p>Despite the 49ers’ intention to pay their franchise quarterback, the two sides still appear far from an agreement. Purdy reportedly seeks nearly $40 million per year in his next deal, a term San Francisco is evidently hesitant to dish out.</p><p>The 49ers prepared for the extension by clearing its roster in the offseason. The team did not make many free agent acquisitions, instead <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/49ers-news-san-francisco-releases-leonard-floyd">releasing veterans Leonard Floyd</a>, Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles, Javon Hargrave and Maliek Collins. San Francisco also rid itself of Deebo Samuel’s deal by trading him to the Washington Commanders.</p><p>While Purdy does not appear to be holding out, the 49ers continue to find themselves in offseason contract drama. They previously went through this process with Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk, the latter situation occurring in 2024. In each scenario, San Francisco ended the fiasco by eventually paying its players the amount they desired.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

While the 49ers have made it clear they are open to listening to trade offers for the star pass catcher, it <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/nfl-rumors-why-49ers-making-brandon-aiyuk-trade-unlikely">doesn’t sound like the team is expected to move him</a> before a decision needs to be made involving his contract.</p><p>Back in August, Aiyuk signed a four-year, $120 million contract extension with San Francisco, solidifying his position as the team’s top wide receiver. He struggled in 2024, though, catching just 25 passes for 374 yards before suffering a torn ACL in Week 7 that ended his season early. The 49ers essentially have until Tuesday, April 1 to trade Aiyuk away due to a <a href="https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1906348644070002881" rel="noopener">roster bonus he will be owed</a> on that day, but it doesn’t sound like there’s any sort of deal in the works currently.</p><p>“49ers owe WR Brandon Aiyuk a $22.85 million bonus if he’s on their roster Tuesday, April 1. Once the 49ers pay that bonus, any trade talks for Aiyuk would be off, and he would be expected to spend the 2025 season in San Francisco. So Tuesday looms as Aiyuk’s unofficial trade deadline, and no deal currently is expected by then,” Adam Schefter of ESPN reported.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">49ers owe WR Brandon Aiyuk a $22.85 million bonus if he’s on their roster Tuesday, April 1.

His poor play in 2024 was concerning, though, and coming back from a serious knee injury is going to be easier said than done. The 49ers still have several weapons, such as Christian McCaffrey, George Kittle, and Jauan Jennings, so they could conceivably afford to move on from Aiyuk if the right deal came across their table.</p><p>However, it doesn’t seem like that is going to happen with the deadline for Aiyuk’s roster bonus just a couple days away. So unless a deal comes in that blows the 49ers front office off their feet, it’s looking more and more likely that Aiyuk will be sticking around with the team for the 2025 campaign, despite all the trade rumors that have swirled around him this offseason.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
