The San Francisco 49ers are focusing on extending quarterback Brock Purdy's contract, which is crucial ahead of free agency. As negotiations commence soon, there's uncertainty about how much financial flexibility remains for the team after securing Purdy. He's in line for a significant pay raise, potentially over $50 million annually, following his strong performance last season. The 49ers are also exploring options for backup quarterbacks with many former starters available in free agency, setting the stage for an evolving roster as the offseason approaches.
Purdy's payday has yet to come, two months after he became eligible for an extension that he and the 49ers' brass expressed a strong desire to craft.
Purdy still is expected to climb a high-tier pay grade, commanding over $50 million annually as the quarterback market could be revalued in free agency.
Having traded away Lance in 2023, a reunion is unlikely but perhaps the 49ers make a play for other 2021 first-round picks: Jones, Fields or Wilson.
The quarterback market could be revalued in free agency with several notable names like Sam Darnold and Aaron Rodgers becoming available.
