The San Francisco 49ers got their hearts broken in the NFC championship game in the 2022 season due to QB injuries. Despite having the likes of Brock Purdy and Trey Lance, they may sign a QB due to injury problems. At one time, many reports even linked the likes of Tom Brady with the Niners. Fans want the franchise to sign four QBs as GM John Lynch revealed that he texted a former teammate.

The John Lynch text

Amid all the uncertainty in the Niners QB room, GM John Lynch revealed he texted Tom Brady after his retirement. According to Dov Kleiman, it was a congratulatory tweet for the wonderful career of the seven-time Super Bowl champion, who is also Lynch’s former teammate.

Lynch and Brady were teammates for a very brief period in 2008 at the New England Patriots. That lasted just a few weeks before the Patriots decided to cut Lynch who played as a safety.

The Niners are looking at a few veteran QBs to join their ranks as both Brock Purdy and Trey Lance are hit with injury uncertainty. Lance missed the entire 2022 season with a neck injury while Purdy tore his UCL in the NFC championship game. Head coach Kyle Shanahan has already dismissed the idea of keeping Jimmy Garoppolo. But who will join the San Francisco outfit is still not clear.

Another fan wants the Niners to bring four new QBs to Levi’s Stadium.

Brady hung up his cleats on February 1 this year in a video message to the fans. And he is currently enjoying his time with his family. But he can change his mind to come back and play for his boyhood team if Lynch can work up some magic. Highly unlikely but maybe the Niners GM is trying to do it.
