Brock Purdy and the San Francisco 49ers’ brass have a similar mindset regarding one of the biggest offseason questions around the organization.

We know the 49ers want to keep Brock Purdy. We don't know how much money they intend to offer him. Purdy is coming off a down season. He lost a whopping nine games and threw 10 second-half interceptions -- second most in the NFL.

As the 49ers prepare for the offseason, Brock Purdy is the number one priority, and CBS Broadcaster Jim Nantz endorses an extension ASAP.

Purdy ranks fourth in the NFL in QBR (69.3), sixth in passing yards (9,075), first in yards per attempt (8.9), and seventh in passing touchdowns (61). However, the 49ers could choose to let Purdy play out the season and franchise tag him.
