The San Francisco 49ers find themselves at a pivotal crossroads as they prepare for the 2025 NFL season. While the team has secured Brock Purdy as their starting quarterback for the upcoming campaign, uncertainty clouds the future beyond 2025. With Purdy’s rookie contract nearing its end and his market value skyrocketing, the 49ers may soon face a financial dilemma.
This has sparked speculation about whether the team will look to reset their quarterback situation through the 2025 NFL Draft. The draft, set to take place later this month, features a trio of highly touted quarterback prospects: Cam Ward, Shedeur Sanders, and Jaxson Dart.
Shedeur Sanders causes chaos with his “rock star” attitude
Ward is widely expected to be the first overall pick, but the intrigue lies in where Sanders, the Colorado standout and son of Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, will land. Some mock drafts have Sanders falling as low as the seventh overall pick, despite his impressive Pro Day performance that showcased his accuracy, timing, and arm strength.
There is a shot to pick a quarterback
For the 49ers, who currently hold the 11th overall pick, Sanders presents an intriguing option. Known for his precision and ability to thrive in a pocket-passing system, Sanders could be a natural fit for head coach Kyle Shanahan’s offense. NFL executives have praised Sanders’ “catchable ball” and his ability to make plays under pressure, though concerns about his mobility and reliance on average athleticism remain.
The decision to draft Sanders, or any quarterback, would signal a strategic shift for the 49ers. Purdy, who has been a revelation since being drafted as “Mr. Irrelevant” in 2022, is poised to command a significant contract extension. Reports suggest his next deal could exceed $50 million annually, a stark contrast to his current bargain rookie contract. This financial reality has already prompted roster changes, with the team parting ways with key players to manage future cap space.
Drafting a quarterback like Sanders would allow the 49ers to reset their salary cap at the position, giving them financial flexibility to build around a young, cost-controlled signal-caller. However, it would also mean betting on Shanahan’s ability to develop another quarterback while navigating the challenges of transitioning from a proven starter in Purdy.
As the 49ers weigh their options, the stakes couldn’t be higher. The decision they make in the coming weeks will not only shape their quarterback room but also define the trajectory of the franchise for years to come. Whether they stick with Purdy or roll the dice on a rookie, one thing is clear: the 49ers are at a turning point, and the NFL world will be watching closely.

Ex-Premier-League-Coach sicher – Bayern-Star das letzte Puzzlestück für Liverpool
Liverpool und Bayern-Star Harry Kane (31) – ein Traumduo! Das jedenfalls meint Martin Jol, ehemaliger Trainer von Tottenham Hotspur. Neben Super-Stürmer Mohamed Salah (32) könnte der Engländer „unglaublich“ sein, sagte Jol in einem Gespräch mit Journalisten in der neuen Sports Betting Lounge des Grosvenor Casino Luton.Jol betonte, wie wichtig es sei, Salah und Kapitän Virgil van Dijk langfristig an den Verein gebunden zu haben. „Liverpool ist ein Top-Klub und wird immer einen Weg finden, erfolgreich zu sein, egal wer das Sagen hat“, so der 69-Jährige. „Der Schlüssel für Arne Slot – und ich kenne ihn gut – ist, Weltklasse-Spieler wie van Dijk und Salah zu halten. Und genau das ist geschehen.“Jetzt habe Liverpool die Basis gesichert, um nächste Saison wieder um den Premier-League-Titel zu kämpfen, glaubt Jol. „Das Einzige, was Liverpool vielleicht fehlt, ist eine echte Nummer neun.

Celtics-Magic has been a physical battle. Jaylen Brown thinks the fight’s just begun

Brown downplayed his newest injury, saying he will be all right because he has nine more fingers, but wondered what might come next.Advertisement“There might be a fight break out or something,” said Brown, “because it’s starting to feel like it’s not even basketball and the refs are not controlling their environment.
