Adam Schefter on Brock Purdy's contract status (and a Tyrese Haliburton mention)

[cedarstrip]

No, the 49ers can tag him and not allow other teams to bid on his services.

What is an NFL franchise tag? How does it work?

NFL franchise tags can have a big impact on player contracts, team budgets and overall performance. Here's everything you need to know about them.

They absolutely can.

 

[1SEIACLONE]

They can but they won’t. No team has done that to a QB in 9 years. Don’t want to take me up on my WeWill bet that Brock signs a long term extension (or holds out) this year?

They do not have to do anything for another year, they have the right to let Purdy play under the contract this year and go from there. It sounds like they offered him $45 million a season, he wants $50 or more. If they cannot get him to sign for what they offer, then do nothing, and worry about it after the season.

Why would they allow him to work out a deal or another team to sign him and take the draft picks, when they do not have another QB on the roster that they think could be their starter? If they tag him it will be the tag that binds him to the team.

Wut?

Next year the exclusive QB franchise tag will be $56 million. This binds him to the team.

The non exclusive tag will be $48 million, he is essentially a free agent but San Francisco can either match the other teams offer or get 2 first round picks in return. Otherwise he plays under the tag with the 48 fully guaranteed.

Purdy will make $5 million this season, and $56 million under the tag the next season, it will be cheaper than signing him to $50 million a year under a new contract. Tagging him will be cheaper than paying him a top five contract at least the next two seasons. His contract is going to be guaranteed either way, because they are not going cut him. The only thing tagging him hurts is they cannot sign him and then move the money around to pay him less this coming year or as a bonus. My point is they are not going to franchise tag him and then risk losing him, when they do not have a person there to take over.

You’re not considering another option in this scenario: say they play it that way and he blows up and has an MVP caliber season? In that case 2 years from now the qb market may be even more inflated and they may have to give him 60+/year and over 300 guaranteed to keep him

 

[BCClone]

Who are they going to get that's better? No QB in FA that will be available is better than Purdy. Do they really want to gamble on drafting a QB in hopes they're better than Purdy? QB's aren't cheap; they would be foolish to not pay him. He bailed them out after their horrible decision to draft Lance.

There may be no one better in FA this year, but they may see it as whether they sign him this year or next year, that 50 is most likely. So take the cheap year and make sure no injury happens that throws next year in doubt or maybe had a poor year and they can pull the contract back some.

A bigger name could pop up next year. I don’t see them extending him.

Then Purdy sets the market, it all is a risk, the idea is to take the lowest risk approach which would be to sign him to a deal both sides think is fair. If Purdy is the MVP, then money will not be a problem, but do you want to sign him to $55 million a year and have him play like he did last season?

You act like the 49ers would be way out of line signing him to something like that. But if you look at the market, that's what QBs with Brock's performance get. You can say that it is stupid that they get that much, but that's what they get. It's not Brock's job to even out the market price.

You mean like a Top 10 QB?

There are 10 QBs making over 50, all on contracts signed in previous years (salaries go up over time, not down)

Geno freakin Smith just signed for 38 per year.

Brock Purdy has demonstrated the ability to be an elite game manager and capable of winning a Super Bowl.

There is no world where a long term contract for him at 50+ per year is an overpay. On the contrary, if they lock him up 4-5 years on an average of 50 flat I’d say they got a smoking good deal.

 

[1SEIACLONE]

Guys if Purdy is a no doubt 50 million dollar a year, top ten QB, why have then not locked him up? Seems like a no brainer, been to a Super Bowl, top 7 in QBR last season. Why are they waiting, because they and most GMs, are unsure if it's Purdy or the talent around him. It's why when you ask GMs and scouts to rank QBs, he is not at the top of the list. They all want to see more from him before they commit that amount of money.

 

[CyberJJJ]

You do realize how few franchise tags get used right? Because you essentially burn the relationship with the player.

So you are saying that instead of paying Purdy $50 mil per year for 3-4 years, they’ll tag him just to pay him $50 mil per year anyway? Makes no sense.

This is so simple - give Purdy 4-5 years and $50-$55 mil per year and give yourself out options after 3-4 years.

I believe franchise tag for QB is closer to $40M.

NFL franchise tags increase with a record-high salary cap

NFL quarterbacks will have the highest franchise tag cost at $40,242,000, up $7.5 million from last year.

That's this year, next year is close to 48.

Half the QB's taken in the first round are a bust, it's the most difficult position to play in sports and do it at a high level. This idea you and others keep throwing out there that the team will turn on the organization if they do not sign Purdy, is wrong, they want a QB that can help them win, it does not matter who it it. Trading 3 draft picks from Lance was a mistake, but it was a mistake for the Bears to trade up and take the kid from UNC instead of Mahomes. Hell, go back and watch the Mahomes pick, and the NFL guys are shocked, they are saying "they did not take Watson."
Purdy will be signed, he is not worth in my opinion $50 million a year, but teams over pay QB's all the time. Just because they do not reach an agreement this seasons, does not mean they are never going to reach one, teams Franchise tag players every year and then turn around and sign him to a long term deal, in the future. Hell Baltimore let Jackson shop himself around, and then signed him to a long term deal. No one really knows the value of Purdy, he is not taught of as top 5 QB, now is he a top 10 or top 15 is the question. Top 5 QB that every GM would take over Purdy, Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, Barrows and Hurts, the kid from Washington is moving up the ranks. Purdy is in the 2nd group of QBs.

So half the QB’s in the first round are a bust. And yet the 49ers luck out and draft an All Pro QB with the last pick of the draft. And you think they should risk alienating Brock by going cheap. Because they can treat Brock like crap doesn’t mean you do it. You will reap what you sow.

50 would be a deal. Just some quick back of an envelope math here but this is what QB contracts would be worth as a percentage of the cap.

Burrow in 23 (55/225)*279=68.2
Dak in 24 (60/255.4)*279=65
Mahomes in 20 (45/198.2)=63

I always chuckle when people say he should take a team friendly deal like Mahomes.

I'm sure Brock would be happy with a 10yr $630 million contract.

 

[Texbudman]

SF YouTube did a breakdown. Not many teams are in need of qb, have already over committed to another qb, or have top 10 draft pick this year. NYG was the only one cited.

I love Brock but if NYG GM traded for Brock they’d run the GM out of town.

Not if he'd have traded for Brock before signing Winston and Wilson. THAT should get him run out of town. I would think Giants fans would love having Brock Purdy as their starting QB

 

[Texbudman]

He’s been the most consistent offensive player on the team, lead them to a SB, and consistently ranks in the top of all QBs. He will get paid, but SF has got a few pieces to fill, so I think they are low balling to see what they can get away with. Feels like they are still under the impression that he’s not really a top notch QB. Total BS.

I think they are making room for Brock's money by getting rid of a lot of the players they have.

 

[Texbudman]

49ers will sign Purdy at around $55 million APY. Purdy is only 25. Quickness in decision making and processing information is a talent. Purdy is one of the best. The 49ers have the storybook tale of Brock Purdy coming out as a movie. Mr. Irrelevant. That is worth millions in PR and marketing. Only fools would get rid of a 25 year old Pro Bowl QB for a retread thinking Shannahan made Purdy. Yet Trey Lance was a bust. Reality is that Purdy is the reason they say Shannahan is a QB guru. Shannahan is overrated.

And does anyone not think that Brock will continue to improve? He really hasn't played that many games yet
