49ers Plan Long-Term Extension for Brock Purdy Despite Mixed 2024 Season

San Francisco remains committed to Purdy as their franchise quarterback, with contract negotiations expected in the offseason.

Brock Purdy delivered a standout performance in the 49ers' 38-13 win over the Bears, recording 325 passing yards, two touchdowns, and a season-high 145.4 passer rating.
Despite a challenging 2024 season marked by injuries to key players and inconsistent team performance, the 49ers plan to offer Purdy a long-term contract extension in the 2025 offseason.
NFL insider Ian Rapoport confirmed the team's confidence in Purdy as their quarterback of the future, cementing his role as the face of the franchise.
Critics have raised concerns about Purdy's ability to perform without a strong supporting cast, citing his reliance on key players like Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle.
Purdy, currently on a rookie deal, could see a significant salary increase, with projections suggesting a contract worth up to $59.7 million annually.
