🚨 BREAKING: Brock Purdy is reportedly pushing hard to join the Baltimore Ravens after failing to see eye-to-eye with head coach Kyle Shanahan, who has declared Purdy is no longer part of the 49ers’ future plans.
Sources say Purdy has told people close to him he wants to play at M&T Bank Stadium and is willing to accept any deal the Ravens offer.
However, San Francisco’s massive asking price and demands have reportedly led Purdy to create chaos in the locker room in an attempt to force his way out.
December 3, 2025 – Levi’s Stadium is on fire, and not in a good way. Brock Purdy, the 2022 Mr. Irrelevant turned NFC Champion quarterback, has demanded out of San Francisco. His destination? Baltimore. His reason? A complete breakdown with Kyle Shanahan.
Sources inside the 49ers facility say the rift began after the Week 9 loss to Seattle. Shanahan publicly questioned Purdy’s decision-making. Purdy fired back in film session: “Run your offense, I’ll run mine.”
The next day, Purdy skipped voluntary workouts. Then he skipped mandatory meetings. Then he refused to speak to Shanahan entirely. The locker room split overnight.
George Kittle tried mediating. Purdy allegedly told him: “I’m done being Kyle’s puppet. Lamar runs his show in Baltimore. I want that freedom.”
Christian McCaffrey sided with Shanahan. Deebo Samuel stayed neutral. Trent Williams reportedly told Purdy: “Grow up or get out.” The cracks became canyons.
Shanahan told ownership on November 29: “Brock is no longer in our future. Trade him or we lose the team.” John Lynch began fielding calls immediately.
Purdy’s camp leaked his wish list: Baltimore Ravens only. He’s reportedly told friends: “M&T Bank Stadium is where I become a superstar. Lamar’s offense fits me perfectly.”
Baltimore’s interest is real. Lamar Jackson personally called Purdy after the Thanksgiving game: “Come be my partner. We’ll win rings together.” Purdy was sold instantly.
Eric DeCosta flew to California on December 1. Ravens offered a 2026 first-round pick, a 2027 second, and Zay Flowers. San Francisco laughed and hung up.
The 49ers’ asking price: two first-round picks, a third, and Roquan Smith. Baltimore countered with a 2026 first, 2027 third, and Rashod Bateman. Deadlock.
Purdy escalated. He skipped three straight practices. Refused to board the team plane to Philadelphia. Told reporters: “I’m not playing another snap in red and gold.”
Locker-room footage leaked: Purdy yelling at Shanahan, “You never believed in me!” Shanahan firing back: “You’re not Mahomes, kid. Sit down.”
Brandon Aiyuk posted then deleted: “Free Brock.” Nick Bosa liked tweets saying “Trade Purdy yesterday.” The chaos went nuclear.
John Harbaugh, informed of the drama, told Baltimore media: “We love competition. If Brock becomes available, we’ll do what’s best for the Ravens.”
Lamar Jackson went live on Instagram: “Brock cold. Ravens family always open for winners.” The clip got 11 million views in six hours.
Purdy’s agent, Ryan Tollner, issued a statement: “Brock wants to compete at the highest level. Baltimore offers that opportunity. We hope San Francisco honors his request.”
Shanahan responded in press conference: “We’re not a rental team. If Brock wants out, he’ll cost someone an arm and a leg.”
San Francisco fans turned vicious. Jerseys burned outside Levi’s. #FreeBrock trended alongside #BenchBrock. The fanbase fractured completely.
Baltimore fans welcomed him with open arms. M&T Bank Stadium photoshopped Purdy in purple. “Mr. Relevant to Mr. Raven” banners appeared overnight.
Trade talks resumed December 7. Ravens upped offer: 2026 first, 2026 third, Odafe Oweh, and a 2027 fourth. 49ers still demanded Roquan Smith.
Purdy refused to practice again. Sat on the bench during walkthroughs scrolling Baltimore highlights. Teammates ignored him completely.
Kyle Shanahan benched him for the Eagles game. Brandon Allen started. 49ers lost 38-10. Purdy watched from the tunnel in street clothes.
Post-game, Shanahan told reporters: “Brock has played his last snap as a 49er. We’re moving forward without him.”
January 2, 2026 – trade official. Baltimore sends 2026 first-round pick, 2027 second-round pick, and Rashod Bateman to San Francisco for Brock Purdy.
Purdy lands in Baltimore at 3:14 a.m. Lamar Jackson greets him at BWI with a purple jersey #13. “Welcome home, bro,” he says.
First press conference at The Castle. Purdy in tears: “I gave everything to San Francisco. They never saw me. Baltimore believes in me.”
John Harbaugh: “Brock is our guy now. Competition makes us all better. Welcome to Raven Nation.”
Purdy’s first practice: 37-of-40, four touchdowns in red-zone work. Lamar watches, smiling: “We just got scary.”
