After three seasons of relatively easy payroll management thanks to the massive advantage having a quarterback on a rookie contract provides, Brock Purdy is due for an extension. It means cuts have been forced to be made across the franchise.

San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York said Tuesday at the Annual League Meeting that the team isn't that far apart from a contract extension with QB Brock Purdy.

Fans of the San Francisco 49ers are wondering if the salary purge this offseason is to make room for Brock Purdy's extension, or if owner Jed York is being a cheapskate.
