**49ers on Brink of Record-Shattering Deal?! Purdy’s Price Tag Sparks Team-Tearing Debate!**

The San Francisco 49ers are reportedly on the verge of offering a historic mega-deal that could shatter NFL records, but is it for Brock Purdy? While many expect the young quarterback to receive a massive payday, some insiders believe the team is hesitant to break the bank, sparking intense debate about the future of the franchise.

Entering the final year of his rookie contract, Purdy is set to earn just over $1 million in 2025[1]. However, that bargain is about to end, as he’s eligible for a contract extension that could make him one of the NFL’s highest-paid players[1][2].

49ers owner Jed York has stated the team remains committed to keeping Purdy long-term and will “do everything we can to make that work”[2]. However, despite a strong 2023 season where Purdy threw for a franchise-best 4,280 yards, his performance dipped in 2024, leading to questions about his true value[1][3]. Injuries to key players like Christian McCaffrey, Brandon Aiyuk, and Trent Williams also impacted the team’s performance[3].

Adding to the intrigue, team insiders Greg Papa and Tim Ryan, who have unique access to the 49ers as game broadcasters, believe the organization is hesitant to give Purdy a market-resetting deal[1]. Ryan suggested the 49ers aren’t in a rush to finalize an extension and could pursue a more team-friendly contract[1]. Papa echoed this sentiment, suggesting the 49ers might be more willing to offer a long-term deal if the financial impact is less than expected, potentially in the “low 40s average annual value”[1]. He questioned whether the team would be willing to pay in the “50s? Or maybe approaching Dak Prescott, and you’re in the 60s?”[1]. Such a deal could force the team to make tough decisions about which players to keep[1].

Purdy finished fourth in MVP voting after leading the league in passer rating and yards per attempt in 2023[3]. A long-term contract extension for Purdy is a key item on the 49ers’ offseason to-do list[2].

The 49ers have approximately $46.51 million in cap space this offseason[7].

While it seems Purdy is in line for a massive raise, it is not clear how high the 49ers are willing to go[1][2].

With Purdy nearing the end of his bargain rookie deal, the 49ers face a critical decision that will shape the future of their franchise[2][3].
