Overview

• Brock Purdy and the San Francisco 49ers remain in contract negotiations, with a $10 million annual gap between Purdy's reported $60M ask and the team's $50M offer.
• NFL insider Dianna Russini suggests the two sides are closer to an agreement than previously reported, citing Purdy's participation in voluntary workouts as a positive sign.
• Purdy's rookie-scale contract has been one of the NFL's best values, with a 2025 base salary of $5.35M despite leading the team to a Super Bowl and two NFC Championship appearances.
• Former NFL quarterback Chase Daniel publicly advocated for a $50M annual deal for Purdy, calling him a bargain at that price given his playoff success and cap-friendly value.
• The 49ers are managing significant salary cap constraints, including George Kittle's $19.1M per year contract and upcoming negotiations for Fred Warner, as they work to secure Purdy's extension.
