With Brock Purdy's impending contract signing on the near horizon, should the 49ers actually wait to get this done until next season? Some reasons why.
Fair analysis. Though a small sample size of games, regression to mean is a viable critique of Purdy results in 2024. Is Purdy responsible for the semi-breakout of Jennings? Arguably, yes, or no. A Team friendly contract, I think he is owed a $5 Million final year of his contract, isn't out of the question. Though the signals from the management team has always been an extension of his rookie contract, they could course correct. He saved that same management from embarrassment over the #3 pick washout and he has been a cheap qb1 the last 2 seasons. All that said, QB1 contracts in the league, of even second tier talents, are trending in the $50s APY. I expect an extension at "market rates" which will put a lot of pressure on Purdy, as well as the trust fund dude and his management team. Thanks for the 10th man analysis.
