San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch recently joined the Chris Simms Unbuttoned podcast, where he was asked about the team's ongoing contract negotiations with quarterback Brock Purdy and when a potential extension might be finalized.

The 49ers’ brass has insisted publicly all offseason that paying Purdy is their intention. Although they’ve committed the third-fewest dollars in free agency the past two months, Lynch noted: “At the end of this offseason we may be a top-two spending team.” Last week, Kittle signed a four-year extension worth $19.1 million annually.
