Brock Purdy Signs Five-Year Extension

Friday, May 16, 5:17 PM

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy has agreed to a massive extension with the organization on Friday. The two sides have agreed to a five-year, $265 million deal, which includes $181 million in guaranteed money. The 2022 Mr. Irrelevant gets his big payday with $165.1 million coming his way in the first three years of the deal. Purdy saw his numbers take a dip in 2024, but that was partly due to the 49ers dealing with so many injuries. He still threw for 3,864 passing yards with 20 touchdowns and 12 interceptions in 15 games with the 49ers last season. The 25-year-old should bounce back in 2025 with a healthy team around him. This seems like a bit of an overpay by the 49ers, but that is the cost of keeping a top tier quarterback in the NFL these days.

Titans Adding Familiar Concepts To Offense For Cam Ward

Tuesday, May 13, 2:53 PM

The Tennessee Titans are working to make rookie quarterback Cam Ward as comfortable as possible in his new NFL offense, according to ESPN's Turron Davenport. Head coach Brian Callahan and company are integrating passing concepts from Miami's offense last season to help expedite the transition from college to the pros for its No. 1 overall pick. "We have it all broken down and put it all in our terminology," Callahan said. "We try to teach our system the way we run it, and then we take input from Cam." The team hopes to replicate the early success of CJ Stroud in 2023 and Jayden Daniels in 2024, and Ward has made a habit of having strong first years in new systems. The Texas native transitioned from a wing-T offense in high school to an air raid scheme as a freshman at Incarnate Word. He then had two fantastic years at Washington State before becoming a Heisman contender in just one season at Miami. While Ward appears to be pro-ready, it's still most common for rookie quarterbacks to have a healthy amount of ups and downs. Additionally, the Titans' pass-catching group, led by Calvin Ridley, is one of the worst in the NFL, so fantasy football expectations for Ward should be tempered in Year 1.
