There is speculation not only that the Niners have botched contract talks with Brock Purdy - who seemingly wants more than $50 million APY in a new deal - but also that maybe they should wash their hands of the whole project and trade their QB.

As good as TJ Watt has been, he’s aging and while he still has some value, the Steelers shouldn’t shy away from dangling him as a trade piece for Purdy, in a hypothetical situation. Watt is 30 years old and could be the ideal piece for the 49ers to use.
