How much Purdy gets paid remains to be seen, and there’s no consensus on where exactly his deal winds up from an average annual value perspective. The Athletic’s Dianna Russini in a podcast with Robert Mays, said she thinks a deal in the $55-60 million annually will be the sweet spot for the 49ers and their franchise QB.

Many expect the San Francisco 49ers will commit to finalizing a high-value extension for Brock Purdy soon, with The Athletic's Dianna Russini confirming it.

Though there have been questions regarding how much Purdy should earn, 49ers legend and Hall of Fame wide receiver Jerry Rice confidently believes that Purdy is the "guy" for the franchise, and wants his former team to get an extension done with Purdy as soon as they can.
