The 49ers are seeking a lucrative extension with Brock Purdy. His teammate, George Kittle, has given him advice about negotiating with the team.

49ers tight end George Kittle recently received a four-year, $76.4M extension with $40M guaranteed from what's been his only NFL home since he entered the league via the 2017 draft. He spoke with Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area about offering Purdy support through what can sometimes be a frustrating process for a pro athlete.

As the NFL offseason moves into the post-draft period, the San Francisco 49ers and quarterback Brock Purdy are dragging out their contract extension talks. But that may not be for long, as all signs appear to be pointed toward progress.
