Pelissero hints at potential timeline for Brock Purdy’s new deal with 49ers
“Are they within the realm of, hey, if they agree to something right now, it could get done quickly? Yeah, but they’re not there just yet,” Pelissero said. “I would anticipate it’s going to come to a head sometime before the start of training camp, potentially sooner than that. I do anticipate that it’s going to be somewhere in the [$50-million-dollar range].”
Cohn: UDFA WR Isaiah Neyor Stole the Show at 49ers Rookie Minicamp
“Each receiver had one opportunity to catch a deep pass. Owens was first. He ran a fade route up the left sideline but didn’t get open or fight for the ball at the catch point, so it got intercepted by the safety.
Neyor was next. He lined up in the slot, ran a fade toward the sideline, left the cornerback in his dust, made a fingertip catch and ran for a 60-yard touchdown. He looked like Julio Jones. Ok, maybe that’s a stretch. But he was impressive.”
Cohn: How 49ers DT Alfred Collins is Similar to Older Cousin Trent Brown
“When I met him during his first group interview, I saw a giant, one of the biggest human beings I’ve ever met. But he was shy, almost like he wanted to be smaller, and he didn’t have much muscle definition. To me, he seemed lanky and uncoordinated. And that is why I’m not an NFL scout.
Turns out Brown was incredibly nimble for his size and was almost impossible to beat in pass protection, particularly when he was young and healthy. But he wasn’t always healthy because he was so big. Now, he’s on the Houston Texans. So, he’s had a successful career.
Which brings us back to his younger cousin, 49ers’ second-round pick Alfred Collins. I had the same impression of him this week at rookie minicamp that I had of Brown 10 years ago. Huge. Not chilesed. Not polished. A little uncomfortable in his skin.”
