The 49ers have historically faced difficulties in finalizing deals with their star players in a timely manner, often leading to unnecessary distractions.<\/p>\n<p>One notable voice advocating for swift action is former NFL wide receiver and Hall of Famer Terrell Owens. During an appearance on Bay Area radio station KNBR on Tuesday, Owens weighed in on Purdy\u2019s contract situation and the importance of securing the quarterback\u2019s future sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n<p>A major debate this offseason centers around how Purdy\u2019s next contract should compare to other top-tier quarterbacks. Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott currently holds the title of the NFL\u2019s highest-paid player, earning an annual average salary of $60 million. While Owens did not suggest that Purdy should surpass Prescott\u2019s earnings, he did make his stance on the quarterback hierarchy clear.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would take Brock Purdy over Dak Prescott any day, number one,\u201d Owens stated on KNBR. \u201cAnd I think, if you look at his production and how he\u2019s played, a guy that has gone from the last pick of the draft, \u2018Mr. Irrelevant,\u2019 to relevant\u2026I think when you have a guy like that\u2014when you surround him with the right talent, he can be an elite quarterback.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Purdy demonstrated elite-level play during the 2023 season when supported by a healthy roster. He set a new franchise record with 4,280 passing yards in a single season and led the 49ers to a Super Bowl appearance.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Brock Purdy\u2019s Performance and 49ers\u2019 Struggles<\/h2>\n<p>However, this past season told a different story. With injuries plaguing the team, Purdy\u2019s performance suffered, and the 49ers ended the season with a disappointing 6-11 record, missing the playoffs entirely. Some critics argue that Purdy\u2019s struggles amid adversity indicate that he may not be capable of carrying the team independently, leading to debates over whether he deserves a top-tier contract extension.<\/p>\n<p>A key question remains: could Purdy hold out if the 49ers present him with a lowball offer? Alternatively, might the team opt to let him play out the final year of his rookie contract before making a long-term commitment? These scenarios could create unnecessary distractions leading into the next season.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Importance of Securing Purdy Long-Term<\/h2>\n<p>Terrell Owens weighs in on this uncertainty, cautioning against allowing a contract dispute to overshadow the team\u2019s preparations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s up for management to decide whether they want to roll the dice and go into a season where, obviously, a contract situation is looming over his head,\u201d Owens explained. \u201cYou saw what happened with [wide receiver] Brandon Aiyuk this past year. You don\u2019t want anything like that to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He emphasizes the importance of securing Purdy as the team\u2019s leader.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou want to solidify and secure those guys because he\u2019s the quarterback of your team,\u201d Owens stated. \u201cI don\u2019t think Brock Purdy is the type of guy to hold out, per se, but like I said, anything can happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Owens also points out that if the 49ers had finalized Aiyuk\u2019s contract earlier last offseason, the wide receiver might have had a stronger start and possibly avoided his season-ending injury. He hopes that the team will not make the same mistake with Purdy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHopefully, they can get Brock Purdy sewn up.\u201d Owens concludes, \u201cThat way, my son [49ers wide receiver Terique Owens] can get some reps and get some of those Brock Purdy balls thrown to him, so I can be up there in Levi\u2019s Stadium next year, watching my son catch some passes and score some touchdowns.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Whether Terrell Owens\u2019 son makes the team or not, Purdy expects to sign a contract extension, potentially worth more than Dak Prescott\u2019s contract, and help lead the San Francisco 49ers back to the playoffs in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Sterling Bennett is a Heavy.com contributor covering the NFL.
