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.

General manager John Lynch in his season-ending press conference indicated the team was committed to Purdy as its franchise signal caller. If that’s the case, working to hammer that deal out before the team reports for OTAs in mid-April would behoove the 49ers.
