49ers GM John Lynch: ‘Really good, positive’ talks with Brock Purdy | Pro Football Talk | NFL on NBC
https://www.youtube.com/NFLonNBC

LINE. THEY’RE TRYING TO TOE HERE AS THEY GO FORWARD. NOW, THE 2 BIGGEST NAMES HOVERING OVER THE TEAM AS IT RELATES TO CONTRACTS ENTERING THE OFFSEASON GEORGE KD AND BROCK PARTY KIDDO. GOT HIS DEAL. HE SEPARATELY HAS SAID THAT. IT WAS PRETTY SIMPLE. IT WAS PRETTY EASY. WE BROKE IT DOWN. LAST WEEK THERE ARE I THINK CLUES IN HIS CONTRACT AS TO WHAT THE STRUCTURE WILL LOOK LIKE FOR BROCK PARTY AND HOW THEY’LL PLAY THE GAME TO ALLOW HIS AGENTS TO SAY, LOOK AT THIS GREAT APY NEW MONEY, THE REALITY OF WHAT GETS PAID OUT, WILL BE VERY DIFFERENT. IT IT WILL HAVE A LOWER VALUE. AND IT’LL PROBABLY HAVE 2 YEARS FULLY GUARANTEED AT SIGNING WITH MAYBE A LITTLE BIT TRICKLING INTO YEAR 3 AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO PUMP MORE UP IN YEAR 3 BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT THEY DID WITH KD. SO AGAINST THAT BACKDROP HERE IS LYNCH FROM YESTERDAY WITH CHRIS AND AHMED ON THE CURRENT STATE OF THE BROCK PURTY CONTRACT, NEGOTIATIONS. YOU KNOW, WE MADE IT A, WE’VE MADE IT A PRACTICE NOT TO TALK ABOUT NEGOTIATIONS AND THAT GOES WAY BACK TO WHEN I WAS PLAYING. I DIDN’T I DIDN’T LIKE, I FELT LIKE THAT WAS MY BUSINESS AND I DIDN’T WANT THE WORLD KNOWING IT. SO I’VE ALWAYS BEEN VERY SENSITIVE TO THAT. YEAH, BUT WHAT I WILL TELL YOU, I CAN’T TELL YOU IS WE’RE HAVING REALLY GOOD POSITIVE DISCUSSIONS. WHEN IT GETS DONE, I’M NOT SURE. UM, HOPE SOONER RATHER THAN LATER BUT LIKE HOPE IS NOT A STRATEGY. SO WE’RE MAKING, UM, WE’RE MAKING PROGRESS. WE’VE HAD GOOD DISCUSSIONS. KICK THIS AROUND FROM TIME TO TIME, I WAS ON WITH RICH EISEN YESTERDAY AND HE ASKED ME WHEN IS THE OVER UNDER TO GET IT DONE AND I HAD IT’S LIKE YOU KIND OF PUT ME ON THE SPOT AND I THOUGHT ABOUT IT AND IT’S LIKE, WELL, PROBABLY THE START OF OTAS IF I’M PRETTY BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH YOU DON’T GET HIT IN PRACTICE, THAT’S WHEN YOU CAN HAVE SOMETHING HAPPEN, REMEMBER THAT TIME. IT’S BEEN ABOUT 10 12 YEARS AGO WHEN TOM BRADY, WITH THE PATRIOTS. THEY WERE HAVING BUCCANEERS AND SOMEBODY CAME AROUND THE EDGE. YEAH, I THINK ADRIAN CLAYBOURNE WAS THE THE AND AND HIT BRADY’S KNEE AND THERE WAS LIKE AN HOUR OF LIKE, HOLY CRAP THAT HE WAS ACLS. EVEN IF THEY CAN’T HIT YOU, IF I’M PRETTY AT 5.3 MILLION AND HE HAS MADE 2.3 MILLION IN 3 YEARS FROM THE 49ERS COMBINED, RIGHT? I’M NOT DOING A DAMN THING UNTIL THIS DEAL IS DONE. WE’RE GOING TO GET IT DONE ANYWAY, I’M NOT PUTTING MYSELF IN POSITION THAT IF I GET AN INJURY I HAVE NO VALUE WHATSOEVER BEYOND THE 5.3 MILLION. I’M DUE TO MAKE THIS YEAR. YEAH, NO IT IT IT’S INTERESTING. AND AGAIN, I I DIDN’T PRESS JOHN LYNCH ON A LOT OF THESE ISSUES. RIGHT? I WE DIDN’T GO DEEP INTO THE BROCK PARTY THING. HEY HE’S A FRIEND OF MINE. WE TALKED ABOUT PROCESS MORE OF BEING A GM. WHAT YOU DO, HOW DO YOU PREPARE FOR THE GIRAFFE FREE AGENCY? THINGS LIKE THAT IS REALLY NOT FROM WHAT HE SAID. HEY, I I MEAN, YOU DON’T NEED TO OKAY? GOING TO SAY MUCH. THAT THAT’S WHAT I WAS TRYING TO SAY. SO WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO GET IT DONE BY? WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO GET IT DONE BY? HE’S NOT GOING TO TELL YOU, I KNOW EXACTLY. THAT’S WHAT I THAT’S WHAT I WAS TRYING TO SAY. LIKE LIKE THERE’S ONLY SO MANY WAYS AND HE’S BEEN ASKED THAT QUESTION 9 MILLION TIMES, RIGHT? SO WE DIDN’T GET DEEP INTO THAT I KNOW FROM THEM, RIGHT, STRAIGHT OUT OF THEIR MOUTH, THEY LOVE BROCK PY. THEY WANT BROCK PY TO BE THEIR QUARTERBACK. SHANAHAN JOHN LYNCH, THEY’VE SAID THAT THERE’S NO QUESTION NOW WHAT THEY’RE DEALING WITH IN THE CONTRACT AND THE NUMBERS THE GUARANTEES, I DON’T KNOW. I DON’T KNOW WHAT THAT IS EITHER WAY, BUT TO SEE HERE IS BECAUSE LIKE WE TALKED ABOUT THEY ARE TRYING TO KEEP THEIR NUCLEUS OF STAR GUYS. I THINK TO USHER THESE NEW GUYS INTO THE NEXT ERA OF 49ER FOOTBALL HERE TOO. BUT YOU KNOW, YOUR POINT AND LIKE YEAH, IT’S DICEY OTAS. YOU KNOW, IT’S NOT REALLY MUCH PASS RUSH AROUND OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. SO YOU DON’T HAVE TO WORRY. IT’S NOT QUITE LIKE TRAINING CAMP BUT ALSO I I AM INTERESTED TO SEE WHAT BROCK PARTY DOES BECAUSE BROCK PARTY DID NOT PLAY. WELL LAST YEAR HE NEEDS TO PLAY WELL THIS YEAR, HE’S GOING TO GET THE NEW CONTRACT AT SOME POINT. IS HE GOING TO SACRIFICE NOT DOING OTA AND GOING THROUGH THOSE REPS? RIGHT? HE’S 1 OF THOSE GUYS, HE’S BEEN THERE. HE’S BEEN SHOWING UP TO WHERE I WOULDN’T BE SHOCKED. IF HE JUST SAID, I I’LL DO OTAS. WHY THIS GOES ON, I WOULDN’T BE SURPRISED. I’M JUST INTERESTED, WE’LL SEE HOW IT GOES. BUT YOU KNOW, JUST TO TO KIND OF PIGGYBACK OFF OF WHAT YOU’RE SAYING. I THINK IT IS A UH, INTERESTING CONVERSATION THERE. I THINK IF YOU WANT TO HAVE THE BEST RELATIONSHIP POSSIBLE WITH THE GUY AND YOU ACKNOWLEDGE, YOU’RE GOING TO YOU’VE JUST DONE KIDDLES DEAL. YEAH, I THINK IT’S IMPERATIVE FOR EVERYONE TO GET TOGETHER. LET’S AGREE. THAT THE DEADLINE IS THE START OF OTAS. LET’S AGREE TO THAT AND IT TAKES A LEAP OF FAITH AND THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH IT IS IF BOTH SIDES AREN’T FULLY COMMITTED TO TREATING IT, LIKE THE DEADLINE, IF 1 SIDE DECIDES TO TAKE LIBERTIES, THEY MAY THINK THEY CAN SQUEEZE THE OTHER SIDE, A LITTLE HIGHER AND THEN THEY SAY, WELL, YOU KNOW, WE STILL HAVE TIME TO DO THIS DEAL. SO, ONCE YOU’VE GONE TO YOUR BOTTOM LINE, AND TIME PASSES, THE THINKING IS YOU’RE GOING TO GO EVEN HIGHER. THAT’S THAT’S WHY A DEADLINE IS IMPORTANT. IF YOU GO TO YOUR BOTTOM LINE, WHILE THERE’S STILL TIME LEFT, THE THINKING IS YOU’VE STILL GOT MORE ROOM TO MOVE. YOU WANT TO LAND THAT PLANE RIGHT ON TIME. SO YOU GET TO YOUR BEST NUMBER AS THE CLOCK IS RUNNING OUT. BUT LOOK AT ALL THE DEALS THAT GET DONE WITHOUT THE TICKING CLOCK, YOU CAN EITHER SIMULATE A TICKING CLOCK OR YOU CAN TRUST THE OTHER SIDE THAT WE’RE NOT TRYING TO SCREW YOU. YOU’RE NOT TRYING TO SCREW US. LOOK AT WHAT THE TEXANS DID WITH DEREK STINGLEY JUNIOR. THERE WAS NO DEADLINES RIGHT THERE WAS NOTHING. THERE WAS NO REASON TO DO THAT DEAL AND THEY SAT DOWN AND THEY GOT IT DONE. YEAH. SO YOU CAN EITHER BE LIKE THE COWBOYS AND DRAG YOUR FEET UNTIL THE CLOCK LITERALLY IS STRIKING 12 AND THE AND THE BELLS ARE TOLLING AND YOU GOT TO GET YOUR ASS INSIDE BEFORE SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS OR YOU CAN JUST SAY GOING TO BUSINESS TOGETHER. LET’S JUST DO A DEAL THAT WORKS FOR EVERYONE. I I I HOPE SO. I HOPE IT’S THAT RATHER THAN, YOU KNOW, THE PRIOR OPTION YOU’VE TALKED ABOUT. BECAUSE IF IF THERE’S A 1 THING YOU COULD SIT THERE WITH THE 49ERS AND AND MAYBE LIKE KIND OF PICK OUT A LITTLE BIT AS THEY’VE BEEN ONES TO DRAG THEIR FEET A LITTLE WITH THESE CONTRACTS TOO. I MEAN LET’S LET’S WE CAN BE FAIR THERE. CERTAINLY KNOW THEY DO UNTIL KYLE GOES AND SAYS, WHAT THE HELL ARE WE DOING? THEY TRYING TO FEED RIGHT? WELL SO WE’LL WE’LL SEE WHERE THIS GOES HERE TOO AND IF THEY DRAGGED THEIR AS A OF THE 49ERS AND MY FRIENDS THERE AND I ROOT FOR THEM. I DON’T WANT TO SEE THEM DRAG THEIR FEET ON THIS TOO MUCH LONGER EITHER. I DON’T CARE WHAT YOU SAY. IT BECOMES AN ISSUE. YEAH. THEY MIGHT HAVE GOT AWAY WITH IT WITH NICK BOSA BUT THEY DIDN’T GET AWAY WITH A DEEBO SAMUEL OR BRANDON IUKE AND SOME OF THOSE ISSUES THERE AND THEY DID FILTER INTO THE SEASON AND AFFECTED THEIR FOOTBALL TEAM. SO UH, BROCK PARTIES, AN ULTIMATE PROFESSIONAL. I KNOW THAT HE’S THE ULTIMATE GYM RAT. HE’S NOT GOING TO MAKE IT ABOUT A ME, ME ME SITUATION OR CAUSE ATTENTION. I KNOW HE’S GOING TO GO TO MEETINGS AND BE IN THE QUARTERBACK MEETING MEETINGS, AND DO ALL THAT STUFF WITH SHANAHAN AND BE THERE. A PART OF THAT IS HE GOING TO BE ON THE FIELD OTAS, THAT’S GOING TO BE THE INTERESTING PART OR DO THEY MAKE A DEADLINE LIKE YOU’RE SAYING, OR DO THEY MAKE AN AGREEMENT ON OTAS AND GO. HEY, WE JUST WANT YOU TO GO OUT AND DO DRILLS AND DO THIS. WELL, NOTHING TEAM-WISE, OR NO LINE WILL EVER BE AROUND? YOU WILL NEVER PUT YOU IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION, I DON’T KNOW, BUT I, I WILL BE BY BE INTERESTED TO SEE HOW NEXT FEW WEEKS. WHEN THE DUST SETTLED ON THE NON-STOP NEWS FLOW FROM LAST WEEK ON SATURDAY. I WROTE SOMETHING ABOUT WHAT THE PARTY CONTRACT COULD LOOK LIKE BASED UPON THE CLUES IN THE KD DEAL. THE 2 YEARS FULLY GUARANTEED, THE THIRD YEAR GUARANTEE THAT CAN BE BUMPED UP BASED UPON PERFORMANCE IN YEAR 2. THE PHONY FINAL YEAR THAT DRIVES UP THE NEW MONEY APY TO GET IT FROM 18 MILLION TO 191 WHICH PUTS HIM A CLICK ABOVE THE 1 9. THE CARDINALS. SO I I THINK THAT WE’RE LOOKING AT 2 YEARS 90 FULLY GUARANTEED AND YOU COULD DO AND I CONSTRUCTED IT. I DID THE MATH. YOU COULD DO SOMETHING WITH A NEW MONEY APY OF 551. IF YOU PUT A COUPLE OF PHONY 60 MILLION YEARS ON THE BACK END AND THAT MAY NOT EVEN BE PHONY BY THE TIME WE GET THERE. IF THE GUY KEEPS PLAYING WHILE 6 MILLION. THAT’S RIGHT. THAT’S RIGHT. MAYBE VERY AFFORDABLE. YEAH, RIGHT. YOU COULD YOU COULD DO A 551 THAT PUTS HIM, A CLICK ABOVE THAT CLUSTER OF GUYS, AT 55 BEHIND COTTON JOSH ALLEN AND YOU GET THE HEADLINE AND GREAT AND TRY TO LEVERAGE THAT DEVELOPMENT INTO MORE CLIENTS. BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT’LL BE KIND OF LIKE THE KIRK COUSINS DEAL. YEAH. I HEAR YOU. 90 MILLION, WRITE 10 MILLION TRICKLING GUARANTEED INTO YEAR 3, RIGHT? YOU KNOW, 45 IS KIND OF WHERE WE THINK HE SHOULD BE AND THERE’S A WAY TO DO THIS SO IT LOOKS LIKE 55 BUT IT’S REALLY 45. YEAH, I I’LL BE I’LL BE INTERESTED TO SEE IF THEY CAN DO THAT OR FOR NAGEL THAT OR DOES DOES PARTY LOOK FOR MORE OF A A TRUE HARDLINE 55 AND AND PUT HIS PUT HIS, YOU KNOW, DRAW A LINE IN THE SAND THAT WAY. I DON’T KNOW. THE THING WITH KD WAS A LITTLE DIFFERENT WHERE, YOU KNOW 1 KD IS COMING TO THE END OF HIS CAREER. I THINK HE DOES WANT TO BE A 49ER AND IF YOU LISTEN TO DIANE RINI OR SOME PEOPLE OUT THERE IN THE NFL WORLD, I MEAN IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE WAS TRADE TALKS ALONG WITH GEORGE KD OVER THE WEEKEND. AND LOOK RIGHT. WHY? WHY WOULDN’T YOU CALL? I THIS IS WHERE I DON’T LIKE TO ELEVATE THESE OBVIOUS LIKE, OKAY, THERE’S CLEARLY SOMETHING GOING ON WITH KD ON THE 49ERS. OF COURSE, SOMEBODY’S GOING TO MAKE A PHONE CALL TO SEE IF HE’S AVAILABLE BUT HE WASN’T TRADED AND THERE WAS NO INDICATION. THERE WERE ANY SERIOUS TALKS THEY SIGNED HIM. THEY GOT IT DONE AND MAYBE IT’S GETTING THOSE PHONE CALLS THAT SPURRED IT FORWARD. LIKE WE DON’T EVEN WANT THIS TO BECOME A THING. LET’S JUST TAKES TAKES ON A LIFE OF ITS OWN, WE’RE NOT TRADING GEORGE KD KNOW. I CAN SEE WHY PEOPLE WOULD CALL KNOW. YEAH. I I’M DEFINITELY WOULD BE HERE YOU CALL AND AND AND ALL THAT TOO. BUT BUT YEAH, I’M JUST THROWING THAT OUT THERE FOR INSTANCES OF WHAT, LIKE, WHAT COULD A UH LIT THE FIRE TO GET THAT CONTRACT. DONE A LITTLE QUICKER THAN WHERE WE ARE WITH BLACK PARTY. SO SOMEBODY SHOULD CALL AND TRY TO TRADE FOR BROCK. ALL RIGHT. HELLO PITTSBURGH TELL. AARON RODGERS, THE ENGAGEMENTS OFF. TAKE THAT RING OFF. YOU DON’T NEED THEM ANYMORE. UH, YOU KNOW, THE OTHER POINT TOO. AND I I I DON’T KNOW HOW TO PRONOUNCE HIS AGENTS LAST NAME. IT’S EITHER STRONGER OR STRONG ENGINE. KYLE IS HIS FIRST NAME, RIGHT APPARENTLY, AND I HAD ANOTHER AGENT POINT THIS OUT, IN THE AFTERMATH OF THE STORY THAT I WROTE OVER THE WEEKEND, THIS GUY USED TO WORK FOR THE 49ERS AND I WONDER IF THAT HELPS. I WONDER IF THAT’S A HINDRANCE. WHEN IT’S TIME TO SIT DOWN AND WORK SOMETHING OUT BECAUSE TO THE EXTENT, HE’S GOT ACCESS TO THE PLAYBOOK. MAYBE IT MAKES A LITTLE HARDER TO DO A NEGOTIATION THAT LANDS THE WAY THAT THAT HE WANTS IT TO BECAUSE LOOK THIS IS A, YOU KNOW, A SMALL AGENCY THAT WANTS TO USE BROCK PARTY AND PARLAY THAT INTO, YOU KNOW, A BIG DEAL. RIGHT? GAME, RIGHT? YEAH. NO, I EXACTLY, RIGHT. AND I THINK, YOU KNOW THAT THAT THAT’S THE OTHER FACTOR HERE THAT PLAYS INTO THIS THAT YOU KNOW, I DON’T KNOW IF THE THE NORMAL EVERYDAY FAN WOULD THINK ABOUT. BUT YEAH, THAT RELATIONSHIP THE FACT THAT, LIKE, YOU BROUGHT UP MANY TIMES. BROCK PURTY IS THEIR SOUL SOUL GUY AND THE 1 GUY THAT THEY HAVE. SO
