Coming off consecutive NFC Championship game appearances, including a Super Bowl loss vs. Kansas City, Purdy is all but guaranteed to become one of the highest-paid players in the league. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">San Francisco has already <\/span>reiterated their commitment <span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> to Brock Purdy, but the question is for how long and at what price.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">One ESPN analyst believes\u00a0the 49ers have no choice but to make Purdy the league\u2019s highest-paid player.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Predicting Brock Purdy\u2019s Contract<\/h2>\n<p>ESPN analyst Bill Barnwell believes the quarterback market <span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> does not leave San Francisco many options on how much they will be forced to pay Purdy this offseason.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cYes, the 49ers could take the bold stance of trusting they\u2019ll find the next Purdy on Day 3 of the draft, deal the quarterback for significant draft capital, and use the picks and the cost savings to spend heavily throughout the roster.\u201d Barnwell explained, \u201cNothing about his play or the organization\u2019s public comments suggest that\u2019s likely to happen.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cIf the 49ers pay the going rate for a franchise quarterback next year, they\u2019re topping the deal Dak Prescott just inked with the Cowboys, which is north of $60 million per season. I suggested over the summer a Purdy deal would come in at five years and $235 million, or $65 million per year. That\u2019s the still number he and his agents are likely targeting.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If the 49ers and Brock Purdy agree to a record-breaking contract extension, Barnwell believes such a move could lead to <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">serious<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> roster alterations.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Repercussions of Purdy Extension<\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Barnwell acknowledges that signing Purdy to such a lucrative deal could impact the 49ers\u2019 salary cap in 2025. As a result, the 49ers could show several high-profile players the door next offseason.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Barnwell highlights that the recent restructuring of defensive lineman <\/span>Javon Hargave\u2019s <span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> contract could lead to the former Pro Bowler\u2019s release.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cThe move signals that Hargrave likely will be one of the two players [the 49ers] will designate as post-June 1st releases for cap purposes.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The other player Barnwell mentions is wide receiver Deebo Samuel. Samuel, in the middle of a down year, will be 29 next season. With career lows in YAC and just two touchdowns, his regression could signal the end of his 49ers\u2019 tenure. Saying goodbye to the receiver could save San Francisco 17 million dollars combined in 2025 and 2026.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Barnwell proposes that releasing Hargave and Samuel be beneficial in two areas. One, the team would free up necessary cap space. Two, the team could redistribute the money to maintain a younger core moving into the future.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The 49ers decision to extend Brock Purdy\u2019s contract is not the issue. They want to <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">get a deal done<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, but the domino effect could lead to an offseason full of tough decisions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Sterling Bennett is a Heavy.com contributor covering the NFL.
