#1 The 49ers made it no secret they are anxious to sign quarterback Brock Purdy. Purdy’s base salary for 2024 was $985,000. Purdy could get signed for a nine year $50 million deal. Purdy said this is the first time he’s been through the negotiation process but considering it’s his first time those are some good numbers he’s working with.

#2 The 49ers have made some coaching moves today, Clay Kubiak was elevated to defensive coordinator, Nick Sorenson is out from being defensive coordinator has not been fired by the 49ers but will work as an assistant in another position, Brian Schneider was fired as special teams coordinator.

#3 The 49ers released defensive tackle Javon Hargrave talk about Hargrave’s release and was it expected.

On the San Francisco 49ers podcast with David Zizmor:

#1 David, San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch said that negotiations won’t cease as the 49ers are doing everything they can to get a contract extension with 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk. Aiyuk says he wants to be paid amongst some of the top NFL receivers.

#2 Inspite of wanting a trade from the 49ers Aiyuk has report. Many NFL analysts were surprised that Aiyuk would show up during a contract dispute with the team. Aiyuk wants to stay with the 49ers but wants a huge payday. Does his reporting mean he’s honoring the last year of contract or he wants to be season ready and negotiate through training camp and pre season if necessary.

#3 Former legendary New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick was offered a job as an assistant to 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan. Belichick declined the offer and is used to being the one in charge and could be looking for another offer but as a head coach. Belichick could have been considered as a defensive coordinator to replace Steve Wilks after he was fired but the Niners replaced him with Nick Sorenson. Belichick has been helping his son who is Steve who is a defensive coordinator at the Washington Huskies. In the off season Belichick has been making appearances on the Pat McAfee show and Inside the NFL.

On the San Francisco 49ers podcast with David Zizmor:

#1 The Brandon Aiyuk scenario continues. Aiyuk has reportedly been sharing a video of himself reviewing Washington Commanders practice film. Aiyuk has said that if things didn’t work out with the 49ers he would consider landing with the Commanders.

#2 Defensive Coordinator Nick Sorenson will he stay in San Francisco or will he find success elsewhere. Last season Sorenson replaced Steve Wilks. Sorenson had so much success at defensive coordinator that he led the 49ers defense to the Super Bowl. Do you see any chance of him staying?

#3 Tashaun Gipson the 49er veteran safety said he has accepted his six game suspension for substance abuse. Gipson said “During this offseason I took a supplement one time, which I thought to be completely safe and well within any of the NFL’s policies. It was in no way related to performance, training, or gaining an advantage of any kind at any time. I have competed at this level for a long time, and have nothing but respect for the game and the fraternity of players in it,”
