Puka Nacua believes 49ers’ ‘window closes’ if Brock Purdy makes more than $50 million per year

Mormons are very industrious, I would trust him
Who gives af what he thinks. Two year receiver knows all đ
Thank you for this bulletin board material, Puka. We will take the fuel.
Letâs ask Ja next
I know thereâs gonna be a lot of pressure on him if he signs a massive contract and we donât have a good season again.
Puka also learned last fall he plays in the NFC West, not a very intelligent individual
Is Stafford still in his rookie deal?
Puka throwing punches as well as words around, what a guy, folks!
Itâs a compelling argument for sure
Uhhh thanks one of the most overrated 3rd year receivers in the league thatâs going to fade into obscurity within 5 years.
If youâre an NFL player why would you not want another star to get more money? Thatâs such a weird stance to be taking.
Funny, thatâs not what Pukaâs mom told me last night.
Why do I care what Poopy thinks
This guy is a complete tool. I never liked him from the start, as he just acts way too arrogant for being a 2nd year guy.
We’ll see how the Rams wind up doing when he’s making $50M a year and Stafford is gone.
Uh. Because no team has ever won with a highly priced player at any position!
If Purdy is as good as we believe or that he can be, then it doesnât matter cause he can lead a team to a Super Bowl â as long as the team isnât ass around him.
Keeping Warner, Bosa, and Kittle for their entire careers, and retooling through the draft, the roster is good enough. It then falls to coaching, and I believe Shanahan and Saleh (if he stays a couple years) are good enough to do so.
Then, it falls to luck with injuries, and rookies and cheaper FA signings working out.
With the cap rising every year, Purdy making 50-55M AAV is fine.
I mean, it did for Dallas and Miami after their QBs got paid, so I see where heâs coming from. It could happen to us too if we whiff on the next couple drafts and have a below average roster.
I have more faith in the 49ers though as we have a much better foundation. I trust Shannahan, I trust Lynch, and the fact we got Saleh back, thatâs huge. Honorable mention to our new special teams coach we got in who is supposedly is the best coach in his field over the last few years.
But I donât think itâs a bad take from Puka. I agree that this QB market is so stupid rn. Like how are the likes of Dak, Tua, Trevor Lawrence, and Jordan Love making the most with the least proven? Not saying that Brock isnât proven, but those other contracts hyper inflated the true value of the position.
So this guy is a General Manager now? Is he giving advice to a rival team?
Man, so much stupid shit is said in sports coverage.
lol people in here are so serious, puka plays for our division rival of course heâd say this
It’s funny and strange how obsessed other NFC teams seem to be with us. In particular the Cowboys and Rams.Â
Puke-uh Hawk-tua?
Nice, he should worry about his own team
That window may have shut when AD left
Good luck to them thoughÂ
9ers all day đ
Commenting on other players contracts and cap situation is super lame.
This dipshit wasn’t on the rams when Jimmy was clapping them multiple times a year as a top paid qb. Brocks better than Jimmy
Really hoping to humble these assholes next year, they’re not going to have the benefit of sneaking up on anyone – while praying for stafford to be healthy
40, 45, 50, 55…. does it matter?
when you’re coming from Purdy’s rookie contract, anything “reasonable” is still a massive increase that you have to start cutting salary in other areas to accommodate it. even if he’s at $40M, that’s still a massive amount you have to build a team around. those days are already over. it means less big FA gambles or re-signings and more focus on building from the draft.
Purdy’s cap number for reference:
2022: $724k
2023: $889k
2024: $1M
2025: $5.4M
How long is that stafford window?
This is the same guy that didnât know the Lambs played in the NFC West until the end of last season
Dirt Puka just recently learn that the Rams play in the NFC West? Why is he talking lol
SOSAR
Put this on the bulletin board. Sweet!
Dmo already preparing the instagram reels for Rams week after seeing this.
Ah yes, master GM Puka Nacua. If he thinks thatâs it, it must be true.
I think SF CB Lenor is going to close Pukaâs window. And Fred Warnerâs going to clean his clock.
There’s going to be a day, likely sooner than later, when Sean McVay isn’t going to be able to trot out a former first-overall drafted QB (as he’s been able to do in about 97% of Rams games).
Lots of people believe that SF’s window is closing/closed. If that’s true, I’d venture to say that it’s the same story with the Rams, but their QB situation is even more accelerated.
Puka believes that he’s the main character. That’s precious.
Who cares?
Amazing he can speak through the feeding tube that Stafford puts into all his #1 receivers.
1. Puka just learned what the NFC West was
2. Super Bowl windows have and always will live and die by the draft. Draft well = Super Bowl window open. Draft bad = Super Bowl window closed
3. QB contract numbers are basically fake. Jalen Hurts signed a deal worth $51 mil/yr. His largest cap hit on that deal is $47 million in 2028. A $50+ million/yr deal doesnât mean his cap hit is $50+ million every year
Itâs a pretty uneducated comment from Puka (who I am a fan of). $50m in 2025 is a lower percent of the total cap vs what Stafford got in 2024.
But especially when Purdy signs, his cap hit is likely not going to be anywhere near $50m due to the contract wriggling they will do. Stafford has the 2nd largest cap hit in 2025 at $49.7m (Dak -$50.5m).
How? This team gave huge contracts to Deebo then Ayuuk and it’s still generally the same team lmao
Bro bro doesnât even know what division he plays in đđ
Puka âHowie Rosemanâ Nacua chiming in. What a team builder that guy is.
Man, of all the things you don’t do as a player, it’s talk about another players money. These guys are here to get paid. They do shit less than 1% of people can do. Each and every player should be ecstatic when another player gets the bag, whether they think it’s good/bad for that team. Especially when no one knows how their career will pan out. Puka could fall off a cliff tomorrow, and that would suck for the league as a whole.
Legit talk trash whatever, don’t talk about a man’s potential future money.
Pocket watching a fellow NFL player is crazy.
Cowherd who is a a massive LA homer, was praising Puka for this. He hates that Purdy started over precious USC QB Darnold and hates Purdy for it.
I’m really surprised this didn’t get posted sooner. I was sure that this subreddit would be crying about this yesterday.
