It’s certainly been a rough start to a pivotal season for the San Francisco 49ers, but one anonymous NFL executive thinks the team should go to extremes to fix it.
In his weekly day-after-games column, the Athletic’s Mike Sando quotes anonymous NFL executives on a variety of league topics.

While all of the executives who spoke on the Niners expressed concerns, one took a nosedive into the hot take volcano when it came to quarterback Brock Purdy and the upcoming extension he’s due after this season (which is likely going to end up with Purdy making about $60 million per year).
