As negotiations continue, it remains to be seen whether the San Francisco 49ers will increase their offer or if Brock Purdy will be forced to bet on himself for a future payday. Either way, his contract saga will be one of the most closely watched storylines of the offseason.

Lynch also said that the team has discussed an extension with tight end George Kittle, per Wagoner. Kittle is entering the final season of his contract with a $22MM cap hit. The 49ers have plenty of cap space, so extending Kittle to free up money isn’t an immediate priority, but the team would like to keep him past 2025 — his age-32 season.
