Overview

  • The 49ers signed Brock Purdy to a five-year, $265 million extension with $181 million guaranteed, placing him among the NFL’s top-paid quarterbacks.
  • Purdy’s camp initially asked for $65 million per year before agreeing to a $53 million average annual value on the finalized deal.
  • San Francisco faces depth concerns after trading Deebo Samuel, losing Brandon Aiyuk to a torn ACL and MCL and anticipating a potential suspension for DeMarcus Robinson.
  • The team is pursuing veteran weapons, reportedly showing interest in free agents Keenan Allen and Gabe Davis and monitoring interest in Amari Cooper to bolster the receiving corps.
  • Purdy enters the offseason ranked 11th by Pro Football Focus and has drawn criticism from former receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh, who labeled the extension an overpay until he secures a Super Bowl victory.
