While many have predicted that San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy is next in line for a big-money contract extension, the team actually has the ability to hold off on his new deal for a few years.

The San Francisco 49ers face a big, expensive decision in whether to extend quarterback Brock Purdy or not. But the team may feel all right with their backup if Purdy decides to sit out for a bigger deal.

There's not really a question at this point about whether the San Francisco 49ers will give Brock Purdy a contract extension this offseason. What is still a massive question is what exactly his contract terms will look like.
