How much are you willing to pay Brock Purdy before letting him go?

This whole thing about paying Purdy makes it sound like a deal must get done this year. He's still got one more year on his contract. They can wait if his agent plays hardball. Then it's up to Purdy to have a good year so he can be in a good postion to negotiate next year whether it's with the Niners or some other team. I suspect he would prefer to stay in SF with Kyle and his QB friendly system. If he doesn't have a good season then the ball is in the 49ers court and they can either sign him for a slightly lower amount or move on to a free agent or a draft pick. It's kind of a gamble for both sides but a bigger one for Brock.

I would lose respect for the 49ers if they forced Purdy to play on his rookie deal this year which pays about a million dollars. His experience is a great argument against the rookie pay scale. He is the most underpaid player in the NFL. If the 49ers cannot come to an agreement with Purdy, they should default to a 2 year deal that pays him at least 10 million this coming year, and presumably more like 40 million. That way they kick the can down the road, but at least pay him a reasonable amount for his services this year, plus they get the benefit of ensuring that they have exclusive rights to him next year for the final negotiation.

the fact that were even talking about this and he's still unsigned is a bad sign for us.

Does anyone remember our last NFC champ game? when after we got our asses whooped in the first half and in the second half at times he put the team on his back and pulled us through so we could win the game and have another chance at a SB. (before dumbass coaching screwed that up again)

BP is by far the most talented and capable QB this team has had in a LONG time. and that is said with full awareness of his shortcomings and weaknesses which EVERY QB in the history of the NFL has had some kind of weakness. no ones perfect. we have no other better option at QB currently on the roster, and do we really think this FO Is capable of landing a better QB with our first draft pick? do we need to talk about TL5?. do we really think a rookie QB would be more capable of taking us back to the SB this year than BP?

BP an his contract should have been priority #1 from the second our season ended. he is what makes this team go now, he is one of the biggest reasons for our recent success and we have no better option. if they don't get this deal done by the end of March it will be very alarming because that will be a sign that the team is going into this with the same method they did with aiyuk and bosa and Trent and look at what that did to us. again if they let this negotiating go into the summer AGAIN the season is tanked, its a wash. don't even watch the games we have no chance if we go through another summer of drama. its a no brainer, get him signed.

the last game of the season isn't even a month old.. relax

49ers season has been over since January 5th dude. almost two months ago. they've had time.

This isn't buying your Hyundai at your local dealer. We are talking $100m plus contracts. You think it's one page sign here and done? There are a ton of things to cover in these contracts besides what fans think he should make a year. No trade clause, detrimental to the team actions, assigned penalties/fines by NFL or team and how pay back to occur, personal leave of absence, injury clause, etc etc etc

No way should this be done yet.

As long as this gets done prior to the draft and does not get in the way of the offseason program, I'll be happy. I would prefer it be done by the start of free agency, but don't know if that's feasible. It's not my money, so I'll let the cap wizards and front office types make it all work out.

My sources say the deal is actually already done but they're waiting on the fans here to all come together and agree on the amount to announce it.

ya I agree it doesnt need to be done yet, now.2/28/25. but if they go into april in this same position we have a problem. the decision should have been clearly made already that the team wants BP here. figuring out all the details like terms, amounts blah blah blah doesn't take 3 months. agents do what were talking about year round for multiple clients. its their job, this isn't something new to them they work on this kinda stuff daily. in fact if both parties want it to work it could all get figured out as quickly as on one phone call. I'm just saying if it lingers on through the spring watch out. everyone tried to act like aiyuks thing wouldn't have an affect on the season. then he goes an tears his ACL an we end up having an embarrassing season. s**t like this matters.

Purdy has a bunch of levers he can pull to screw them.

He can say he's going to sign all the way until the season then sit out 11 games before he plays the final 6 and still accrues a season.

IE he can let the backup go 2-9 for the first 11 games then come in and win the last 6 light the world on fire. Then the team missed the playoffs even though purdy was killing it. Waste a whole season of niner football.

The players won't care because it's just another player trying to get his money.

The coaches would look completely incompetent if purdy doesn't play over half the season then kills it when he comes back. It's literally a firable offense to do that.

If shanahan has another losing seasons and it's because they couldn't get a deal done with purdy and he sat out they probably clean house given the whole picture.

It's not lynches or shanahans money either so they really shouldn't care if it's 40-60 million. The cap hits down the road anyway.

The chief negotiator for our team is Paraag Marathe.

Also Purdy holding out for the maximum amount of games would more than likely be an exercise in self sabotage if his interest is signing a big deal.

It takes two sides to come to an agreement, If Purdy isn't signed quickly, that doesn't automatically mean the team screwed up. A proper evaluation of blame would require knowing what was demanded, offered, what the final hangups are etc.

Given the track record with bosa, Ayuik, and deebo. And their output after signing the deal. Do we have a lot of faith in paraag to not drag this out so long it's a detriment to the team?

The only glimmer of hope is the Lenoir deal that he's learned his hardball lesson.

This should have already been handshake determined after his worst game this year mid season and quickly inked as soon as possible.

His track record says purdy should hold out until week 1 and take them for everything they are worth.

And then expect to lose 4 games while he gets back into football shape and practices.

What is Purdy asking for?

What are we offering?

One would expect purdys agent to ask for 62-65 given he gets paid a percentage of whatever purdy negotiates.

There is no reason for his opener to be less.

Now the counter from paraag cannot be an insulting amount lower or else it will literally just devolve into "come back and talk to me when you want to be serious."

The precedent has already been set.

If he wants 62 and you counter and he takes 55 that's a win and they should take it. If they drag it out he will get the 62 anyway because they always cave.

It doesn't matter what purdy wants. The whole reason you have an agent is to have him negotiate without your own emotions coming into play. His agent should be trying to get as much as he can for himself and purdy.
