The star of Los Angeles Rams Wideout Puka Nacua has unstopited advice for the Rival de Division San Francisco 49ers: Do not break the bank to sign the quarter-Arrière Brock Purdy to a massive extension.
Nacua made these comments while appearing on the podcast of Julian Edelman, “Games with names” on Wednesday. Edelman asked Nacua if he thinks Purdy would sign a contract with an average annual salary in the range of $ 50 million or more. Nacua replied by saying that he thought something in the The mid -1940s is more preciseAnd explained why this is the case.
“He seems to be an intelligent guy. They have a chance to be always in their window. And I think that if it goes ($ 50 million a year), the window closes, right?”

The quarters which on average at least 50 million annual wages are quite common around the NFL. Ten different quarters will come in 2025 with a Average annual salary of more than $ 50 million In 2025. This does not mean that they will win $ 50 million next season. This means that they on average at least $ 50 million when you divide the total number of years on their contract by the total amount of their contract.
Dallas Cowboys, Dak Prescott's quarterrier, opens the way in this category. After signing a Extension of $ 260 million over four years Last September, Prescott has an average annual salary of $ 60 million over these four years. Trevor Lawrence, Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, Jordan Love, Tua Tagovailoa, Jared Goff, Justin Herbert, Lamar Jackson and Jalen Hurts are the other nine players who are expected to be at least $ 50 million during their contracts.
Purdy, who went 23-13 in three seasons as a quarter-back from the 49ers, certainly has an argument to be part of this group. After being selected with the final choice of the NFL 2022 draft, Purdy played like a superstar. He launched 64 affected against 27 interceptions with the team and helped the 49ers to an appearance at the Super Bowl in 2023, where the team lost in overtime against the Chiefs of Kansas City.
Given his draft post, Purdy has not yet received a massive salary compared to his peers. He could seek a huge salary increase in his next agreement, and the 49ers have already suggested that they are ready to distribute an extension.

If the 49ers end up giving Purdy an agreement which exceeds an annual salary of $ 50 million, would that really put the team in a bad place?
At this point, you should probably consider the source. What must Nacua win by starting the status of contract of a division rival? Personally, not much, but it never hurts to try to sow the seeds of discord among your opponents. Maybe Nacua tries to scare the 49ers to reconsider an agreement? Maybe he tries to make Purdy so angry that he insists to be paid more than some of the least accomplished quarters in this top-10?
Maybe Nacua really believes what he said, but it's doubtful. Nacua seems to be alluding to the same immediately. After posting the question to Edelman, Nacua cannot help but flash a guilty smile. He knows he is a chaos agent.
If the 49ers Ink Purdy do not personally affect Nacua, although this can make his life miserable on the ground. The 49ers are undoubtedly a better team with Purdy under the center, and making him the long -term option could be a massive thorn in the capacity of RAMs to face in the future.
For this reason – and probably many others – it is not surprising that Nacua wants these negotiations to become bitter.
