49ers and Brock Purdy at Standstill Over $10M Gap in Extension Talks
San Francisco's latest offer of $50 million annually falls short of Purdy's $60 million target, with no deal finalized as offseason deadlines approach.
Overview
- Brock Purdy and the 49ers remain $10 million apart in contract negotiations, with the team offering $50 million annually and Purdy's camp seeking $60 million.
- Despite public endorsements from owner Jed York and GM John Lynch, no agreement has been reached as summer workouts near.
- The 49ers recently restructured George Kittle's $76.4 million extension to free up nearly $50 million in cap space for 2025, but a Purdy deal remains unresolved.
- Purdy, who has exceeded expectations since being the final pick of the 2022 NFL Draft, has amassed over 9,500 passing yards, 64 touchdowns, and a 23–13 record as a starter.
- With the franchise tag as a potential fallback option, the 49ers face pressure to balance Purdy's market value against long-term salary cap considerations.
