49ers aren't looking for Brock Purdy to "do something extra" because of his contract

Our Summary

The 49ers have reinforced their faith in quarterback Brock Purdy with a new contract, but head coach Kyle Shanahan made it clear that the team doesn't expect Purdy to change his leadership style. Despite the contract indicating that Purdy is central to the franchise, Shanahan emphasized that there’s no need for Purdy to become more aggressive simply because of his new deal. Purdy's rise from a late draft pick to a Super Bowl starter highlights his value, and the team is keen for him to continue as he has, without added pressure from the contract's expectations.
