49ers evaluate quarterbacks without Brock Purdy extension

Brock Purdy is seeking a significant contract extension from the San Francisco 49ers, but he has not received one yet. This situation raises questions about his future with the team. Some believe the 49ers may look for other quarterback options. Sports analyst Grant Cohn suggests that the 49ers could be interested in drafting Shedeur Sanders from Colorado or trading for J.J. McCarthy. This speculation comes as it seems the team is considering various quarterbacks, especially since Purdy’s contract status is still uncertain. Cohn notes that the 49ers recently signed Mac Jones to a two-year deal. This suggests they are exploring different, cost-effective options for the quarterback position. If Sanders falls to them in the first round of the draft, the team could take a chance on him. Purdy's future remains unclear until he signs a new contract. The Niners have a history of developing quarterbacks, and they may not view Purdy as essential to their plans. Meanwhile, Purdy's camp is reportedly asking for over $50 million a year, reflecting the current market for quarterbacks.
