The San Francisco 49ers' backup quarterback situation hopefully never becomes that important. The 49ers want to extend Brock Purdy for big money, and then they'll be hoping he stays healthy. But San Francisco drafted another QB in the seventh round this year,

After striking a deal with tight end George Kittle, the San Francisco 49ers could be nearing an agreement with quarterback Brock Purdy on a long-term contract. On the latest episode of the Scoop City podcast (starts at 8:45 mark), The Athletic's Dianna Russini said Purdy and the 49ers are "closer" to a deal than is being reported elsewhere.

The 49ers have seen a massive change across the roster in recent seasons, losing multiple players who helped them get to the Super Bowl. But there are a few that the team considers "must-haves," and they have been trying to prioritize keeping them in town.
