ESPN’s Ben Solak isn’t so sure that extension gets done. In a piece about the upcoming offseason, Solak offered a prediction where San Francisco opted to make Purdy play out the final year of his contract.

Purdy, 25, signed a four-year rookie contract with an average annual salary of $934,252 after being drafted with the last pick (No. 262) of the 2022 NFL draft. He is now eligible for an extension.

One way or another, the 49ers are bound to make at least one trade in the 2025 NFL offseason. Even if the intention is to clear future cap space, Lynch needs to net significant assets in return if he hopes to return his team to title contention.
