APRIL 22: Purdy is indeed in attendance for the beginning of the team’s offseason program, Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero of NFL Network report. That is certainly an encouraging indication as it pertains to the chances of an extension agreement being worked out shortly. Tight end George Kittle, on the other hand, is absent as team and player remain far apart on the contract front in that case.
APRIL 21: Tomorrow marks the start of the 49ers’ offseason program. In the case of quarterback Brock Purdy, that date could mark a sign of progress toward an extension agreement being reached. 
Team and player have been negotiating since at least February, with talks heating up one month later. Getting a deal over the finish line in time for the start of voluntary workouts has been named by general manager John Lynch as a possible target. Purdy attending tomorrow would of course indicate an agreement is drawing closer.
On that note, The Athletic’s Michael Silver reports “some progress” has been made with respect to extension negotiations. The size of the remaining gap between the parties will be illustrated – at least to an extent – by whether or not Purdy is present for the start of the offseason program tomorrow. Silver adds it is unclear at this point whether or not the former ‘Mr. Irrelevant’ will be in attendance.
Given the nature of the quarterback market, a price point around $50MM has long been used to estimate the cost of a long-term Purdy deal. The final AAV figure could check in even higher, of course, and Silver notes an agreement will “likely” carry an average cost at least $50MM per season. 10 signal-callers are currently attached to a pact worth between $51MM and $60M in annual compensation.
Purdy could soon become the next member of that group given the continued growth of the salary cap and his status as a locked-in starter for the 49ers. San Francisco’s offseason began with a number of notable departures in free agency, and the team took a measured approach knowing a major commitment to the Iowa product will soon be made. Purdy is set to earn $5.35MM in 2025 as things stand, but he will be in line for a massive spike in compensation provided negotiations go as planned.
Plenty of time remains for a deal to be struck, and the 49ers have a history of high-profile contract talks lasting deep into the summer. An indication of whether or not such a scenario is to be avoided in Purdy’s case will emerge on Tuesday.
People say ‘Brock is a system’s QB…’. With a 30-16 career record including 4-2 in the playoff’s; I’d say he’s in a great system. Sign him.
I agree, unless they want to tank the next few years, they better extend Purdy. Otherwise, they’ll need to find their future QB in the draft and that’s not exactly a guarantee all things considered.
I always laugh at those who are screaming they shouldn’t sign him for that much (without thinking through what exactly that would entail LOL).
Well they were 6-11 with him last year.20 tds 12 picks and costing in the 50s.I would think most people would not be high on that kind of contract.
I’d take his record over Trevor’s & plenty of other recent 1st round QB’s.
low bar
Trevor Lawrence, Zach Wilson, Trey Lance, Justin Fields, Bryce Young, Anthony Richardson, C.J. Stroud, Jayden Daniels, Caleb Williams, and Drake Maye.
Imagine where the Chiefs would have been if they didn’t have that defense for the first half of the season? Mahomes played like absolute trash for the first 7-8 games last year. Not one person over there was enthused with that.
We going to blame Joe Burrow for the Bengles not making the playoffs? Maybe he should have been better. You can talk up/down quarterbacks all you want but final outcome is still the same…..defense wins you championships.
Philly agrees with that last statement.
Are the niners bad at contracts
Just so weird that they always wait until the last minute.
I guess when they are trying to pay wholesale and not retail, this is what happens lol
They are so good at drafting. They should trust that. They don’t. Feels like luck to them. So they don’t pay because these guys keep sucking on contract year. lol bad jue jue. Good draft. Best team in the league. Besides trading up for 1’s lol
