WOULD 49ERS REALLY TRADE WARD TO UPGRADE SOME WHERE ELSE?
C- MORE SHOTS AT BROCK —— HIGH END BACK UP? —- THIS DEAL IS GETTING DONE RIGHT? — AND WOULD THE 49ERS TURN INTO THE COWBOYS WHO HAVE NOTHIGN BECAUSE OF DAK’S DEAL?
MORE SHOTS AT BROCK FORM UNNAMED GM—-(JASON LACANFORA)
With Purdy likely in line for a contract extension after this season, there is increasing discussion around the price tag. Some believe he could join the league's highest-paid players—perhaps even setting the standard. That would likely put him in the $60 million annual range, similar to Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, whom the 49ers face on Sunday night.
La Canfora suggests that such a figure may be too high for a quarterback who is not universally regarded as elite. He proposes that the 49ers consider an alternative, possibly pursuing Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins—a longtime favorite of head coach Kyle Shanahan—as a "potential escape hatch" from a massive Purdy contract in 2025.
While Cousins signed with the Falcons this year, the team also drafted Michael Penix Jr. eighth overall. Cousins' stats this season are comparable to Purdy's, and his addition would offer somecap relief. However, Cousins will be 37 at the start of next season, while Purdy will be only 25. Making such a switch would force the 49ers to seek a long-term quarterback again.
One unnamed NFL personnel executive agrees with La Canfora's view.
"I'm really trying to stay unbiased and not just be influenced by what I saw when I scouted him in college," the executive told La Canfora. "But Kyle has to see what I see. You can win with him, with everything else being great around him, but you aren't going to win because of him. The roster is getting older and beat up and the roster is going to slip once you pay him.
"You saw him slump last year when everything wasn't perfect. You know how I feel about this one, and it's on the film. He's an elite backup to me, more than anything else. He's a guy, he's not theguy. … And I'm hearing the same thing you are about Cousins. I can absolutely see that. You can't give this kid $50 or $60 million."
Armed with the most cap space in the NFL, the 49ers are financially positioned to pay Purdy top dollar. However, doing so may mean moving on from other high-priced veterans. Thus far, the 49ers have built a strong roster and retained talent because of Purdy's minimal cap impact.
An unnamed general manager told La Canfora that the 49ers might consider not paying Purdy next offseason, instead using the next two seasons to evaluate him further. Of course, if Purdy excels, his value will only increase.
"I'd be really careful about paying that kid," the general manager said of Purdy. "Make him play out his fourth year and then franchise him. … Or, yeah, just go get Cousins. We're seeing teams overpaying quarterbacks all over the place. I'd be scared to death to give him all that money."
D- WHAT TO MAKE OPF THE NFC WEST???
THE NFC WEST…
1) The NFC West just became a lot more interesting. This division has belonged to the 49ers and Rams in recent years, but nearly halfway through the 2024 campaign, all four teams are tied in the loss column. The Cardinals have charged back into the race with consecutive wins, including a 28-27 victory in Miami, thanks to another game-winning field goal from Chad Ryland. The Rams have produced wins in the last two weeks, as well, and they're especially intriguing because their season seemed to be in flames when they were sitting at 1-4. A Thursday night win over Minnesota changed their situation so much that now it seems highly unlikely that wide receiver Cooper Kupp -- whose name was bandied about in trade talk last week -- will be dealt. The Rams don't have all their problems solved, but an offense that reunites a healthy Kupp, wide receiver Puka Nacua (also back from injury) and running back Kyren Williams with quarterback Matthew Stafford still sounds pretty dangerous. The 49ers are hoping they can get some star players healthy, too, especially All-Pro running back Christian McCaffrey. That team has been so up and down this year that it's easy to forget how strong San Francisco can be when the roster is intact. It's too hard to predict how this division will go, but with three teams winning this weekend, it feels like nothing will be decided until the final week of the season.

| |  |  | |  |  | | I’ve never seen a QB tap out before. This was a winnable game. Anthony Richardson quit on his team. And he can’t hit the broad side of a band with a completion percentage in the 2000 Akili Smith range. Obviously Joe Flacco gives Indy better chance to win. What a mess. @VSiNLivepic.twitter.com/QLxpyUZfvO | | | | 10/28/24, 3:13 PM |

2- WARRIORS:
A- WHAT TO MAKE OF CURRY’S ANKLE?
-INJURIES ALREADY CREEPING IN…..
-MARCUS TEESTING WARRIORS DEPTH:
| |
| |  |  | |  |  | | Melton will miss at least the next two games with the strained lower back, team says. Steph Curry out. Andrew Wiggins questionable with a lower back strain. This is when that depth begins to be tested. | | | | 10/28/24, 12:44 PM |
| |
| |
The Warriors won't be at full strength when they host the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Golden State announced Monday that in addition to Steph Curry missing both games due to a left peroneal strain, forward De'Anthony Melton has been ruled out for the back-to-back with a lower back strain.
Wing Andrew Wiggins also is dealing with a lower back strain and is questionable for Tuesday's game at Chase Center.
Curry and Melton will be re-evaluated Friday, ahead of the Warriors' game against the Houston Rockets on Saturday at Toyota Center.
Melton sustained the injury with 4:25 remaining in the fourth quarter of the Warriors' 112-104 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday and didn't return to the game. He underwent an MRI afterward, which revealed no structural damage.
Melton is averaging 6.3 points and 2.7 assists in 16.7 minutes off the bench through three games this season.
Wiggins leads the Warriors in scoring at 19.7 points per game as he adjusts to starting at shooting guard alongside Curry, Jonathan Kuminga, Draymond Green and Trayce Jackson-Davis.
3- MLB: DODGERS ON THE BRINK W/ NOT MUCH HJELP FORM OHTANI….
-TALK DODGERS WILL BE IN ON SOTO….

| |  |  | |  |  | | Walker Buehler is done, and he carved the New York Yankees. Buehler's fastball command was exceptional, as he dotted all four corners of the strike zone en route to five innings of two-hit, no-run, two-walk, five-strikeout baseball. This was the Buehler of old. He was tremendous. | | | | 10/28/24, 7:13 PM |

| |
| |  |  | |  |  | The Dodgers are the 41st team to take a 3-games-to-0 lead in a best-of-7 series.
The previous 40 went 39-1 in those series.
The “1” of course was Dave Roberts’ curse-busting 2004 Red Sox against the Yankees. | | | | 10/28/24, 8:50 PM |

|
| |
| |  | | | | | In all best-of-7 postseason series, teams taking a 3-0 lead have gone on to win the series 39 of 40 times (98%), including 31 sweeps
Just 2 teams down 3-0 have forced a Game 7: 2020 Astros, who lost to the Rays in the ALCS, and the 2004 Red Sox, who beat the Yankees in the ALCS | | | | 10/28/24, 8:47 PM |
