The 49ers have some thinking to do. This is the same guy who led them to a Super Bowl in his first season as a full-time starter. San Francisco went 12-5 during the 2023 regular season, and Purdy passed for 4,280 yards and 31 touchdowns.

After striking a deal with tight end George Kittle, the San Francisco 49ers could be nearing an agreement with quarterback Brock Purdy on a long-term contract. On the latest episode of the Scoop City podcast (starts at 8:45 mark), The Athletic's Dianna Russini said Purdy and the 49ers are "closer" to a deal than is being reported elsewhere.
