The San Francisco 49ers want to get Brock Purdy’s extension done. Purdy, presumably, wants the same thing.
Maybe the 49ers can finish it before it gets too deep into the offseason, which has been an issue for the team on some big contracts like Trent Williams, Nick Bosa and Brandon Aiyuk in recent years. At the NFL’s annual spring meeting, 49ers general manager John Lynch was optimistic that the oft-discussed Purdy deal will be done without much drama.

“Brock wants to be with us. We want Brock to be with us,” Lynch said, via David Lombardi of San Francisco Standard. “When that’s the case, these things get done.
“Hopefully, it happens really soon this offseason.”
It’s great to say that as March ends, but realistically it will be a complicated negotiation on a massive contract.

Finding a fair rate for Purdy isn’t easy. Is he worth $60 million per season like Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott? Is he in the $55 range like Joe Burrow, Jordan Love and Trevor Lawrence? There are nine quarterbacks in the NFL making more than $50 million per year and it seems like Purdy will join them this offseason. The main question is where he will slot in.

Purdy has been a revelation for the 49ers, once the final pick in the NFL Draft who has posted a 104.9 passer rating over his three seasons and helped the 49ers reach Super Bowl LVIII. Purdy’s numbers did drop last season, including dipping from a league-best 113 passer rating to 96.1, but he has proven to be a great fit in Kyle Shanahan’s offense. There will be an ongoing question over whether he is a transcendent talent who was overlooked in the draft or benefitting greatly from a strong scheme with fantastic teammates around him, but the 49ers don’t seem to worry about the latter.
When Purdy does sign it will change the balance of the 49ers’ salary cap. Purdy’s rookie deal was $3.7 million over four years, which is minuscule for a starting NFL quarterback. That gives Purdy some motivation to get his nine-figure extension with the 49ers done this offseason.
Getting the deal done early would help avoid any potential holdouts and distractions for a team that is coming off a highly disappointing 6-11 season. So both sides should have interest in getting the deal done before the 49ers’ offseason program really gets going. The only question seems to be what the final numbers will be.

The Oilers’ best performance of the season came at the best time: ‘We want to finish the job’
LOS ANGELES — Sometimes scorelines don’t tell the whole story. A 3-1 win by the Edmonton Oilers in Game 5, a victory aided by an empty-netter, was Exhibit A.Not only did the Oilers come up with easily their best game of the series against the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday, but it was also their most dominant and complete performance of the entire season.AdvertisementThis one wasn’t even close, or at least it shouldn’t have been. As Kings coach Jim Hiller bluntly said, “They were just better in every way.”“I don’t remember the last time we played as good a game as that,” winger Zach Hyman said. “It was still a nail-biter.”Sure, it was a tight margin, but the Oilers have made a clear case for which team is better in this matchup yet again. They’re now on the verge of […]

Mandatory Credit: Tim Heitman-Imagn Images The Texas Rangers have finally broken out of a prolonged scoring slump and will attempt to keep that momentum going when they square off against the Athletics on Wednesday in the third contest of a four-game series in Arlington, Texas. It will be a battle of high-profile starters as the Athletics will send Luis Severino (1-3, 3.49 ERA) to the mound and Texas will counter with fellow right-hander Nathan Eovaldi (2-2, 2.21). The Rangers exorcised their non-scoring demon on Wednesday, beating the Athletics 15-2 to even the series at one victory apiece and snap a three-game losing streak. Adolis Garcia and Wyatt Langford each had a […]
