Purdy is eligible for an extension now that Week 18 has ended, giving the 49ers a little more than four months to hammer out a deal that won’t be easy to navigate after the QB’s struggles in his third season.

Brock Purdy made it very clear on Monday that he would like the issue of his contact extension to be resolved sooner rather than later. Regardless of whether the San Francisco 49ers oblige and come to a speedy resolution with their quarterback,

Purdy ranks fourth in the NFL in QBR (69.3), sixth in passing yards (9,075), first in yards per attempt (8.9), and seventh in passing touchdowns (61). However, the 49ers could choose to let Purdy play out the season and franchise tag him.
