Kurt Warner criticizes trade rumors linking 49ers' Brock Purdy to Sam Darnold

Kurt Warner has criticized trade rumors suggesting the San Francisco 49ers should swap quarterback Brock Purdy for Sam Darnold. Warner emphasized that recent performances should not overshadow Purdy's potential and past success. The speculation arose after reports indicated Purdy aims to become the highest-paid quarterback in the league. This has led to discussions about the 49ers' future decisions regarding Purdy's contract. Warner's comments contrast with NFL analyst Brian Baldinger, who supports the idea of trading for Darnold. Baldinger believes Darnold's recent success in Minnesota makes him a viable option for the 49ers.
