Discussions are underway between Brock Purdy's representation and the San Francisco 49ers regarding a multi-year contract extension. General Manager John Lynch's comment about 'no guarantees' suggests that a massive extension is not guaranteed, indicating a firm salary limit from the team. NBC Sports analyst Chris Simms interprets this as the 49ers wanting to secure Purdy's services without jeopardizing their roster depth, which already includes high-paid players like Nick Bosa and Christian McCaffrey.

Purdy has had success as a starter, boasting a 23-13 record in the regular season and a playoff record of 4-2, but Simms noted that his performance heavily relies on the 49ers' system. He believes Purdy may not be the type of quarterback to carry a team in adverse situations. Simms hopes Purdy will recognize his value and not demand an excessively high salary, allowing both sides to reach a fair compromise.
