A big part of that renaissance, of course, came Friday, with news that Purdy and the 49ers had agreed to the contract. Purdy and Jenna were golfing at the Olympic Club’s Lake Course in San Francisco that afternoon with 49ers center Jake Brendel and his wife, Zan. That’s when Purdy’s agent, Kyle Strongin, called to share news of the done deal.
Strongin had been in rapid-fire contact with 49ers chief negotiators Paraag Marathe and Brian Hampton as well as general manager John Lynch and coach Kyle Shanahan — Marathe, Lynch, and Shanahan were on a golf outing of their own — during the final breakthrough.
That sparked the celebration heard all the way back in Arizona, where Purdy’s family also happened to be golfing at the time. The quarterback joined them in short order.
