Pelissero: 49ers, Brock Purdy contract talks shouldn’t drag throughout offseason
““I would say it’s Brock Purdy because my understanding is the 49ers are just simply much further along in the Brock Purdy process,” Pelissero responded. “They’ve had negotiations. They have gone back and forth. It does not sound like anything is imminent or even close right now. With Brock Purdy, the question is just where should those numbers be?”
Garafolo: Purdy’s 49ers contract could come ‘close to’ Prescott’s
“Now if you go back over the last five years or so and you see the quarterback deals that were done, the average per year is usually anywhere from 21 to 25 percent of the salary cap. If it’s on the low end of that, he’s going to clear guys like Trevor Lawrence,” Garafolo explained on NFL Network’s “The Insiders” on Thursday. “Now he’s not going to get to Dak Prescott’s number of 60. But he’ll be in the high 50s.
“If he really wants to push it to Joe Burrow, who took the biggest chunk of the salary cap, that’s like $68 million per year. I don’t get the sense that Brock Purdy wants to go there, because that’s going to hurt the team’s ability to do other things. But he wants his respect and he wants money that’s in line with those other quarterbacks.”
