The San Francisco 49ers will have to come to a decision on Brock Purdy sooner rather than later. Based on Sports Illustrated's anonymous survey conducted with NFL executives, it may not be worth it to pay Purdy over $50 million in average annual value.

That would be a major departure from San Francisco's recent history with key players who are in the final year of a rookie contract like Purdy is. Contract drama has become a way of life for the 49ers.

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.
