The San Francisco 49ers head into the offseason with a number of questions to answer, but none is arguably more important than the discourse at the quarterback position, where starter Brock Purdy is poised to earn a significant contract extension over the coming months.
Purdy, a seventh-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, has seen growth year after year but faced a tougher season in 2024, as the 49ers were decimated by injuries, leading to a bit of a down year in comparison to his record-breaking 2023 season.
