Ex-GM: 49ers can avoid breaking the bank on Purdy extension

Purdy has two more years left on the rookie deal, which will allow the 49ers to mark bottom free providers like defensive tackle Javon Hargrave and offer them an improvement to the team’s roster, as well as extend eligibility for an extension.

While Purdy is one of the NFL’s highest-paid quarterbacks in 2025, former New York Jets general director Mike Tannenbaum recently claimed that San Francisco might be able to persuade him not to reset the business.

” Well, he’ll have fundamentally one month left after this year, and then of course, they could brand him”, Tannenbaum said. ” So I do n’t expect him to be at the very top of the market — the 52 -, 53-, 54- million- dollar range — probably somewhere in the mid- 40s, and ( they ) say to Brock Purdy,’ We could give you a massive guarantee, a really good average per year, sometimes make you top eight or nine, but we’re not fully at the top of the market because, again, we could at least wait two more years. ‘ So I do believe they’ll find some middle earth”.
