Purdy and the 49ers agreed to terms Friday on a five-year, $265 million contract extension, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Purdy's new deal has been the largest domino waiting to fall of San Francisco's offseason, and the 2022 seventh-round pick now gains long-term commitment from the team via a contract that runs through 2030, and which includes $181 million in total guarantees. The 25-year-old is coming off a down season, having dipped essentially across the board in most passing metrics while throwing just 20 touchdowns, as opposed to the 31 passing scores he logged in 2023. San Francisco's offense as a whole tumbled in 2024, though, an outcome that can in no small part be blamed on injuries to Brandon Aiyuk (ACL) and Christian McCaffrey (knee). The 49ers also inked George Kittle to a four-year extension this offseason, a particularly notable signing given that the standout tight end may operate as Purdy's top pass catcher to kick off the 2025 season, considering Deebo Samuel has been traded to Washington and Aiyuk is still in the process of recovering. Still, with McCaffrey back in action, plus Jauan Jennings, Ricky Pearsall and Demarcus Robinson available to lead the wide-receiver room until Aiyuk is 100 percent, Purdy will have no shortage of offensive weapons at his disposal as he works to make the first year under his new deal a comeback season.

Purdy is present Tuesday for the start of San Francisco's voluntary offseason program, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Purdy's rookie deal is currently set to expire after the 2025 campaign, but he and the 49ers remain engaged in talks surrounding a new extension. Both Michael Silver and Dianna Russini of The Athletic report that Purdy's attendance for the start of voluntary OTAs is a sign that contract discussions are moving in the right direction, but this remains a situation that could drag on until the later stage of the offseason. Purdy struggled in 2024 compared to his stellar 2023 season, though the context of Brandon Aiyuk (knee) and Christian McCaffrey (knee) both missing most of the year must be noted. The 25-year-old signal-caller will have do make do without Deebo Samuel, who has been traded to the Commanders, within his offensive playmaking group in 2025, but standout 36-year-old left tackle Trent Williams (ankle) has confirmed his intent to return for a 16th NFL season.

San Francisco general manager John Lynch said Wednesday that Purdy has had conversations with the front office regarding an extension, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Purdy's rookie deal runs through the 2025 season, but he's eligible for an extension and is looking at a significant raise. After making just $985,000 in 2024, Purdy's extension will surely be north of $50 million per year. Purdy's play fell off a bit last season, with his touchdown rate dropping from an NFL-best 7.0 percent in 2023 to just 4.4 percent in 2024. His yards per attempt also dipped more than a full yard from 9.6 to 8.5, and Purdy's 96.1 passer rating was his lowest since entering the league. Purdy was undoubtedly hindered by top wideout Brandon Aiyuk's (knee) and top running back Christian McCaffrey (knee) appearing in just seven and four games, respectively, and standout left tackle Trent Williams (ankle) was also sidelined for the final seven contests of the season.

Purdy (elbow) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Kyle Shanahan made it clear earlier in the week that Joshua Dobbs would start the final regular-season game. Purdy banged his right throwing elbow toward the end of a Week 17 loss to the Lions, missing the final few minutes after playing well for most of the night. 49ers GM John Lynch said Friday that Purdy's injury isn't anything serious and isn't related to his 2023 elbow surgery, per Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News. It sounds like Purdy should be fine for the start of the offseason program.

Purdy (right elbow) didn't practice Thursday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Purdy hasn't officially been ruled out for the 49ers' season finale Sunday at Arizona, but his lack of activity so far this week forecasts the likely outcome for the third-year signal-caller, especially after coach Kyle Shanahan said Wednesday that Joshua Dobbs would get the start under center. As a result, Friday's injury report may confirm Purdy's lack of availability for Week 18 action after emerging from this past Sunday's loss to the Lions with a contusion and nerve inflammation in his right throwing elbow.

Head coach Kyle Shanahan announced Wednesday that Joshua Dobbs will start at quarterback for the 49ers in place of Purdy (elbow) in Sunday's season finale versus the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

On Tuesday, head coach Kyle Shanahan stated that Purdy was diagnosed with nerve inflammation and a contusion in his right elbow. The coach's decision to appoint Dobbs to the starting role in Week 18 thus comes as little surprise, as the 49ers won't expose Purdy to further injury while the team has little at stake in its season finale. It's likely that Purdy will ultimately be ruled out ahead of Sunday, and he could be placed on injured reserve in order to open up a roster spot. With Dobbs set to start Sunday, Brandon Allen should work as San Francisco's No. 2 quarterback.

San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan said that Purdy was diagnosed with a contusion and nerve inflammation in his right elbow and is unlikely to be available for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Purdy sustained the injury with less than two minutes remaining in Monday's 40-34 loss to the Lions, resulting in Joshua Dobbs finishing out the game as the 49ers' quarterback. Given that the 6-10 49ers are eliminated from playoff contention, Purdy likely won't be rushed back to the field on a short week, especially after he previously had the same elbow surgically repaired after suffering a UCL tear in January 2023. Expect the 49ers to formally rule Purdy out for Sunday's game by the end of the practice week if they don't move him to injured reserve, but fortunately, Shanahan said that the signal-caller's injury isn't viewed as a long-term concern. According to Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area, Shanahan said a decision would be made later Tuesday whether Dobbs or Brandon Allen -- who was inactive Monday as the emergency third quarterback -- draws the Week 18 start in place of Purdy.

Speaking after Monday night's loss to the Lions, coach Kyle Shanahan said Purdy's elbow injury isn't believed to be serious, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Purdy will undergo an MRI on Tuesday, but the belief is that he's dealing with a nerve issue while initial tests on his surgically-repaired UCL came back okay, per Matt Barrows of The Athletic. Purdy was injured very late in the fourth quarter, and he was seen having his right arm examined on the sideline as Joshua Dobbs closed out the loss. With nothing to play for Week 18 against Arizona, it wouldn't be a shock to see the Niners end Purdy's season a week early.

Purdy (elbow) completed 27 of 35 pass attempts for 377 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions while rushing three times for 12 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 40-34 loss to Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Purdy danced around a pair of interceptions in order to deliver a gaudy fantasy score for fantasy managers Week 17. The 25-year-old left some points on the table when he was forced to exit Monday's contest after absorbing a hard hit from a blind-side sack just inside of the two-minute warning. Backup Joshua Dobbs finished the scoring drive for San Francisco before time expired. After the game, head coach Kyle Shanahan announced that Purdy is dealing with an injury to his right elbow and will undergo further tests Tuesday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports. It is worth noting that the injury sustained was to the same elbow that the signal-caller underwent surgery on to repair a torn UCL after injuring it in the 2022 NFC Championship against the Eagles. Purdy should be deemed questionable for Sunday's season finale against the Cardinals until more information is disclosed by the team.

Purdy completed 26 of 40 pass attempts for 313 yards, two touchdowns and one interception while adding 26 rushing yards on four attempts in Sunday's 29-17 loss to the Dolphins.

EDGE Analysis

Purdy was coming off of his worst showing of the 2024 campaign, so it was a positive sign to see the star quarterback put together an improved fantasy line against Miami. It wasn't all roses for 2022's Mr. Irrelevant, though, as an ugly interception in the fourth quarter killed any hopes for San Francisco to make a comeback. Purdy also led the 49ers with his 26 rushing yards for an injury-riddled squad that was forced to start its fifth-string RB on Sunday. With his team out of playoff contention, Purdy will continue to play out the string in Week 17 against the Lions on Monday Night Football.
