Brock Purdy

The Athletic’s Michael Silver reports there is “some uncertainty” about whether Brock Purdy and George Kittle will show up for 49ers voluntary activities on Tuesday.

Both players are seeking a new contract this offseason. Silver reports that Purdy’s attendance could be a bellwether on how far away from a deal he and the 49ers are, with an absence being a sign that the team and player aren’t close at this time. Kittle is “much more of a longshot” as he and the 49ers, per Silver’s reporting, “remain far apart in discussions about a new deal.” The 49ers have tended to drag out contract extensions over the course of their recent offseasons — see Nick Bosa and Brandon Aiyuk for examples — so we wouldn’t be surprised if neither player reported for voluntary work. Hold-ins in training camp are also a possibility.
