Per The Athletic's Dianna Russini, Purdy and the 49ers are "inching closer" to working out a long-term deal that will make him one of the 10 highest-paid players in the NFL by average annual salary.

The San Francisco 49ers and quarterback Brock Purdy appear to be at an impasse in their contract discussions. While Purdy wants a deal similar to the one Dak Prescott got from the Dallas Cowboys, John Lynch and the 49ers do not seem inclined to give it to him.

As the NFL Draft approaches, insiders are floating a bold new direction for the 49ers—moving on from Brock Purdy in favor of the polarizing but high-upside Shedeur Sanders.
