Overview

  • Brock Purdy and the 49ers remain far apart on terms for a contract extension, with Purdy's camp rejecting the team's latest offer.
  • The start of the voluntary offseason program on April 21 is seen as a key pressure point for resolving the impasse, though no resolution appears imminent.
  • Purdy's representatives are reportedly seeking a deal exceeding $50 million per year, while critics warn such a contract could limit the team's ability to maintain a competitive roster.
  • The 49ers have cleared cap space by releasing Javon Hargrave and trading Deebo Samuel and Jordan Mason, but roster depth is further strained by Isaac Alarcón's six-game PED suspension.
  • Rams receiver Puka Nacua publicly questioned the impact of a high-value Purdy deal, suggesting it could close San Francisco's Super Bowl window.
