Maiocco: Purdy now faces the difficult part after big 49ers extension
“Purdy’s new deal will keep him under contract to the 49ers through the 2030 season. It signals that he is secure as the team’s franchise quarterback, which makes him an even more attractive option for lucrative endorsement deals. After all, there is a lot of cachet that comes with being the quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers.
It was clearly important to Purdy not to cause any kind of distraction this offseason.
That is why he showed up at the beginning of the team’s offseason program rather than create an uncomfortable situation and, perhaps, leverage with a holdout.
