The San Francisco 49ers are in negotiations to extend the contract of quarterback Brock Purdy, aiming to finalize a deal before the upcoming 2025 season.

Purdy's potential contract extension could see him earning between $50 million and $55 million annually, although there were earlier speculations that he might exceed Dak Prescott's $60 million average.

Historically, contract negotiations for 49ers players have been lengthy, as evidenced by the protracted deals of Nick Bosa and Brandon Aiyuk, indicating that Purdy's negotiations may also take time.

While there is a possibility of completing the extension before the NFL Draft in April 2025, sources suggest there is no immediate rush to finalize the negotiations.

The 49ers recently lost both backup quarterbacks, Brandon Allen and Josh Dobbs, to free agency, and have signed Mac Jones to a two-year deal, solidifying Purdy's position as the starting quarterback.

Brandon Aiyuk's future with the 49ers is uncertain, as the team is reportedly open to trading him, although the likelihood of a trade is low due to his contract and a recent ACL injury.

Aiyuk's contract includes a nearly $23 million guaranteed option bonus that activates on April 1, complicating any potential trade discussions.

In related news, the New England Patriots have signed wide receiver Stefon Diggs to a lucrative three-year deal worth up to $69 million, which may influence their pursuit of Aiyuk.

The Patriots are actively seeking to enhance their roster with wide receivers, and Diggs' addition is part of their strategy to support new franchise quarterback Drake Maye.

Meanwhile, LSU offensive tackle Will Campbell has seen an improvement in his arm length measurements at his Pro Day, meeting the desired threshold for NFL teams and potentially boosting his draft stock.
