49ers 3 Things: This isn’t the team Brock Purdy was supposed to quarterback

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:16:27 GMT

SANTA CLARA — These 49ers were built to be a team that runs the ball, has a catch-and-run passing game, and plays elite defense.That’s the kind of squad Brock Purdy, the NFL’s cheapest starting quarterback, was meant to helm.But now the 49ers can’t run the ball, they can’t defend, either, and without Deebo Samuel, their passing game has lost its yards-after-catch prowess — the middle of the field isn’t open.This team looks normal the last three weeks, which has put the burden of winning on the quarterback’s shoulders.It’s not a burden he’s ready to carry. It’s not a burden he is supposed to carry.Purdy brought the 49ers close in all three games, but three consecutive losses aren’t debatable.Yes, Purdy was, as head coach Kyle Shanahan said, “one of the reasons we were in the game” on Sunday. Purdy’s good was downright great. He makes the kind of big throws that no 49ers quarterback under Shanahan has attempted, much less completed: deep outs to the sideline, l...

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — The struggling New York Giants have traded defensive end Leonard Williams to the NFC West-leading Seattle Seahawks for a pair of draft picks. The Giants (2-6) said Monday they will receive a second-round draft choice in 2024 and a fifth-rounder in 2025 for Williams, who had a $32 million salary cap hit this season, the highest on the team.Seattle (5-2) has two third-round picks next year, which will help soften the blow of giving up a second-rounder. The deal came a day before the NFL trade deadline at 4 p.m. Tuesday.Adding Williams is the second move Seattle has made in the past week to add to its defensive line. The Seahawks reunited with veteran defensive end Frank Clark last week after Uchenna Nwosu was lost for the regular season with a pectoral injury in Week 7 against Arizona.Williams will likely step into a rotation with Dre’Mont Jones, Mario Edwards Jr. and Jarran Reed on Seattle’s defensive front. Reed in particular has played a lot of sn...
