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.

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.

Some people project the 49ers to give Purdy more than $60 million per season and make him the highest-paid player in the NFL. Others such as Spotrac analyst Michael Ginnitti expect the 49ers to give Purdy much less -- four-year, $194 million with $100 million guaranteed to be exact.
