Rich Eisen on When/If the 49ers Will Reward Brock Purdy with a Big Contract Extension

Brock p is going to get paid guys remember when I asked Mike Florio remember remember that time uh where I asked Mike Florio last month who's going to be the first $60 million a year quarterback he said Dak and I thought well yeah some other guys might sign before Dak the way this is going right or dak's not going to get to 60 right that even with Lawrence at 55 there's still steps between 55 and 60 and that's maybe where Dak will slot and I also thought maybe it's Stroud silly me we're never going to get to Stroud st's 70 you know what I mean like we'll never get to Stroud before somebody hit 60 and it could be pretty and it sure looks like um Florio was spot on with Dak who might hit 60 before this month is out because well Ian said maybe 65 well I don't know it depends on if he's going to be a full full free agent next right next year or not and and Brock pie it he's he's far from being able to hit this thing right now so pie was asked in a conversation with Jonathan Jones of CBS about the contract guys talk about it within the locker room and stuff and and um you know so we all end up hearing about it but for me it's uh that's so far down the road you know with my situation and and for me it's got to be I got to be present right now right here at Camp I got to be better and grow right now so that I can be the best I can be for this team this year and uh obviously we have a goal at hand and and going all the way and and winning and finishing it so that's where my mindsets at uh to be caught up in the money and the stat like all that kind of stuff down the road um I I'd be wrong if that's where my mindset was at and so it's not yeah there's nothing that could be done contractually with him this this season 0.0 next year will be his fourth and final year of his contract because there's no fifth year option because he was by the way as far from a first round pick as anybody who's drafted can be last pick of the 2022 draft and so that's an appropriate way to look at it he's making less than a million dollars this year 900 and change Flor actually wrote today about how he's supplementing his salary with marketing dollars and I know that he can't officially get a new contract till after this season correct what if he just doesn't show up and holds out right now why why can't he break that because that's you you can't get a new deal until you're done with three years in the NFL why why why is that the rule it's the it's been collectively bargained that's the rule he should he should be the one to break this it it he's all these other guys are getting money and Brock pie is so much better than them he can't it's just that simple and so let's just say he breaks it which he can't do then why wouldn't stoud go ahead and ask for it right now look at the Unicorn one year he did he should do it it's just but there's Chris I understand there's a collectively bargain contract you can't do something until you can so why can't these guys just try like Caleb Williams asked for all kinds of absurd things I know he didn't get them but he at least asked for them well go then tell your union to next time there's a collective bargaining agreement don't agree to that it's just that simple this is absurd that because owners could basically do whatever they want to do that's been collectively bargain run down the list like who's better Brock P or Trevor Lawrence obviously if you want to go in that conversation that's that's better than the one that you've you've the road you've gone down because it's impossible for him to break it like it would just be a waste of his time but also I I think this is the most appropriate way to go about it is that you can't sign anything you go into the season saying I'm going to do the best that I can do by not even thinking about it and knowing that the best that I can do puts me in the best position when I come out of it to go to the Yorks and say Here's the bag you need to fill it up Y and and then put it on them I don't think they'll let him play out his deal at all he's going to set the market after yes well Dak will set the market again and again that's another reason Theo should set the market themselves right now and proba why is pushing back saying I could just wait to next march and let pie reset it and that's why you don't wait to sign your guys can't wait that's why you don't wait to sign your guys this is unless you're not your guy this is a game of CAD mouthe that just it is but I I personally I think this is an appropriate way for pie to approach it hour two with Dan Murphy talking Michigan football coming up I just mean that he's got all the leverage well he's got leverage next year when he's allowed to actually hold a hammer right but then there's also the franchise tag that the Niners can place on him too which will be much less than $60 million so there's that I mean if we really want to play it out but they are are also able to pay everyone else to have a Super Bowl winning team around him and they have to plan for that there's no question there's a plan and a desk drawer of John Lynch's with p's number placed on that cap in 2025 of what they think it will be and it's a guessing game from his agent to go above that number but going into the season it's just like I can't do anything about it the collective bargaining agreement prevents me from wielding any Hammer here so why don't I just go into the season with you know my Quadzilla and he's ripped and he's going to go in there and apparently he's much more vocal than ever before and I can't wait to see that and hopefully they get auk in the fold for him so he has every weapon possible go ahead and knock the door down win the Super Bowl and go to the ycs and say I'll take 60 million marbles please that's an Animal House reference catch the rich eyes and show every single day on the Roku Channel 12 to 3 Eastern for free
