Since then, he has led the 49ers to a Super Bowl appearance, two NFC championship games and two NFC West titles.
In three seasons, he has a 23-13 record as the starting quarterback in the Bay Area.
Purdy is in the last year of his rookie deal and has a 2025 salary of 5.3 million.

But now it’s time for Lynch and the 49ers to pay the piper.
Lynch appeared on Chris Simms’ Unbuttoned podcast on Monday and provided a rare update on the contract negotiations with his star quarterback.
“Yeah, I can tell you, we’ve made it a practice not to talk about negotiations,” Lynch said.
“And that goes way back to when I was playing. I felt like that was my business and I didn’t want the world knowing it. So I’ve always been very sensitive to that.
“But what I will tell you and can tell you is we’re having really good, positive discussions.

“So, we’re making progress. We’ve had good discussions.”
In a great sign for the 49ers, Purdy has been in attendance for San Francisco’s voluntary offseason program.
Along with Purdy’s presence, San Francisco also locked down All-Pro tight end George Kittle to a new contract that made him the highest-paid player at his position.
It was a four-year contract extension worth $76.4million.
Now, Purdy is hoping he is next in line.
