Brock Purdy trade proposal involves Pittsburgh Steelers interest

The San Francisco 49ers are facing a big decision about quarterback Brock Purdy this offseason. Purdy is in the final year of his rookie contract, and the team wants to extend it. He helped lead the 49ers to a Super Bowl in just his second season. However, it is unclear if the team will offer him the high salary he is likely to want. Some analysts think the 49ers might consider trading Purdy if they do not come to an agreement. ESPN analyst Jason McCourty suggested that the Pittsburgh Steelers should reach out to the 49ers about Purdy. The Steelers need a quarterback to support new star receiver DK Metcalf after trading for him. Currently, the Steelers are waiting on Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers to decide where he will play in 2025. If Rodgers does not return, the Steelers might look to Purdy instead. Although Purdy would require a significant trade deal and a new contract, his skills would be valuable for Pittsburgh. At only 25, Purdy could be a long-term solution at quarterback for the Steelers. Despite these trade suggestions, it seems unlikely that the 49ers would give up on a player who has shown he can be their starting quarterback for many years to come. San Francisco has the entire season to resolve Purdy's contract situation. Most believe the team will find a way to keep him before the 2025 season starts.
