49ers Make Waves with Expected Trade for Justin Fields

The San Francisco 49ers have benefitted from Brock Purdy being the last pick in the seventh round of the 2022 NFL Draft. The San Francisco 49ers signed Brock Purdy to a four-year contract rookie deal that will last through 2026. The San Francisco 49ers have one more year ahead to make a determination if Brock Purdy is a franchise quarterback and a long-term solution before he becomes an unrestricted free agent in 2026.

We witnessed Brock Purdy in his second season as the San Francisco 49ers quarterback give a valiant effort leading the San Francisco 49ers against Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. I saw fight and grit from Brock Purdy. Solid stats on the largest stage with an 89.3 passer rating, 255 passing yards, and one touchdown against a top 10 defense of the Kansas City Chiefs. I did not see the intangibles or arm talent to get the San Francisco 49ers past the Kansas City Chiefs if they were to meet again in a rematch in the Super Bowl.

The San Francisco 49ers still have a loaded roster with trade assets to offer the Pittsburgh Steelers to make a trade this offseason and get a franchise quarterback for cheap to get the 49ers over the hump in the Super Bowl.

Imagine Justin Fields’ dual-threat capabilities like Lamar Jackson with the Baltimore Ravens intertwined with Kyle Shanahan’s running game? The zone read and RPO run, pass, option packages with Fields could be lethal with Kyle Shanahan getting the most out of Justin Fields’ skill set. A dynamic duo the NFL would fear and why the San Francisco 49ers must trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers for Justin Fields.
