One of the biggest stories of the NFL offseason has been the contract extension saga between Brock Purdy and the San Francisco 49ers. Purdy has reportedly been seeking a salary north of $60 million.

The 49ers have seen a massive change across the roster in recent seasons, losing multiple players who helped them get to the Super Bowl. But there are a few that the team considers "must-haves," and they have been trying to prioritize keeping them in town.

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.
