Jed York explains 49ers roster exodus influenced by Brock Purdy contract, confident both sides come to deal

At the 2025 NFL Annual Meeting, 49ers CEO Jed York revealed their offseason free-agency approach heavily was influenced by the decision as an organization to pay quarterback Brock Purdy. The 49ers dialed back their spending this offseason in preparation for the largest contract in franchise history, an investment York said the organization's brass is aligned with. Matt Maiocco and Jennifer Lee Chan discuss York's comments, his first publicly since their offseason departures, and weigh what number Purdy and the organization might land on in addition to when. Also, Matt and Jennifer review coach Kyle Shanahan's explanation on Kyle Juszczyk's offseason contract carousel as well as his belief i    n the current iteration of the 49ers' offensive line and bringing in camp competition for kicker Jake Moody.
