Brock Purdy said in an interview that going into this season that Kyle Shanahan wanted Brady for 2023 but Brady declined. Must have been tempting for Brady but I guess being close to his kids in Florida was his #1 priority.
“Early in the offseason, Niners coach Kyle Shanahan sat down with Purdy and assured him that if he was healthy he would be the starter unless Brady wanted to play one more season for his hometown Niners. . . . ‘That meant so much to me,’ Purdy said. ‘I remember him saying, if we can get Tom Brady, we’re going to try to get him. And I was like, “Yeah, he’s the GOAT. I get it.”
