There is a lot going on in San Francisco at the moment that either does not make any sense or is quite complicated to figure out. In this offseason, the 49ers have cleared their roster of big names with the intention of paying big bucks to quarterback Brock Purdy. <\/p>

Drafted with the last pick of the 2022 NFL<\/a> draft, Purdy, who had signed a 4-year rookie deal worth $3.7 million, is now negotiating for one of the biggest contracts in the league. In the three seasons in San Fran, Purdy took over starting duties towards the end of the regular season and guided the team to a 5-0 record and all the way to the NFC Championship game where an in-game injury forced him out. <\/p>

In his second season, he took the team to a Super Bowl only to lose to the Patrick Mahomes-led Chiefs. Everything looked too good to be true. <\/p>

Then came the 2024 season and with it, several key players on the offensive side of the ball went through injury troubles. The result – Purdy<\/a> went 6-9 and the 49ers looked in disarray throughout the season. Perhaps, this is when doubts started to creep in the minds of the management in San Francisco, and now they have gone out and gotten themselves another starting-level quarterback in Mac Jones to provide stiff competition to Purdy. <\/p>

Why did the 49ers Sign Mac Jones?<\/h2>

Mac Jones and the 49ers have a bit of a history. Although Jones hasn’t played for the team, this goes back to the 2021 NFL draft. The 49ers at the time were high on Jones and they even traded up to third in the draft to select a quarterback. Most people were convinced they would select either Jones or Trey Lance, and the 49ers went with the latter since head coach Kyle Shanahan was impressed with his tape. <\/p>

As we all know, the Lance experiment was a bust and the 49ers moved on to Purdy. However, they still regard Jones in high esteem and they believe they can get the most out of him if need be.  <\/p>

How Does the Jones’ Signing Affect Brock Purdy if at All?<\/h2>

What is interesting with the signing of Jones is that the 49ers now have an alternative to Purdy or have leverage over his contract negotiations. Now, going just by the stats and the numbers, Jones’ career has been nothing in comparison to Purdy’s. But, with the year Purdy has had last season, perhaps more and more people are opening up to the fact that it is the Shanahan system that does wonders for any quarterback. Purdy could have been just in the right place at the right time. <\/p>

Of course, that is not to diminish his skills, but it also doesn’t hide the fact that Purdy may be a top 20 QB in the league, but he sure is not a top-10 one. Purdy is probably looking at a new deal that pays him around $50-$55 million per year, which frankly for his skill-set is relatively high. Now, the 49ers can possibly extend Purdy for somewhere near $40-$45 million or even less knowing they have another quality signal caller whom they can call upon. <\/p>

The onus is thus on Purdy and how he feels heading into the new season about his situation. If he takes the deal, he will still be earning much more money than what he might have earned by this time having been the Mr. Irrelevant of the 2022 class. If he wants to hold out and wait longer, he could risk getting injured or even risk having another bad year, which will in return hurt his negotiations even further.  <\/p>
