What San Francisco can’t afford to do is ignore the position given what happened at the end of the 2024 season when Purdy took a helmet to the elbow in Week 17 and had to miss the season finale. After nearly two full seasons of healthy QB play it became easy to forget the injury-driven tumult that under center that preceded Purdy.

General manager John Lynch expressed a desire to get both of those contracts done sooner than later, but the 49ers played hardball and ultimately saw them take all of the preseason. He expressed a similar desire with Purdy’s deal in his end-of-season press conference.

All signs point toward the San Francisco 49ers and quarterback Brock Purdy coming to an agreement on a long-term contract extension in the offseason that makes Purdy one of the highest-paid QBs in the NFL.

The San Francisco 49ers have made it clear, even in the wake of a severely underwhelming 6-11 season, that they have no doubts about Brock Purdy as the future of their franchise at the quarterback position.

Getting a contract extension done with quarterback Brock Purdy has to be the San Francisco 49ers' top offseason priority. Purdy put some pressure on the team during Monday's locker cleanout when he told reporters he was hoping for a new deal so he could report to OTAs.
