Less than one week into the league’s new year, the 49ers’ early negotiations for a megaextension with quarterback Brock Purdy have already roused conflicting reports.
Jason La Canfora, a formerly prominent NFL reporter who replaced Adam Schefter at NFL Network in 2009, posted on social media last Tuesday, “49ers playing hardball with Purdy is very on brand. Starting your offers at $45M a year is something.” Canfora left the NFL Network in 2012 and then spent a decade at CBS Sports as an NFL insider, but for the past few years, he has been a regional sports radio host on the East Coast.
