Ain't going to happen. No QB is going to take a hometown discount and there are only 3 "that guys" in the league. You could spend the next 20 years tanking and failing to get one.
Offer him a 2 year contract
It’s not the amount that kills a team. It’s the long term guarantee
Denver is paying Russell 40 million this year
Cleveland is stuck with Watson contract

That’s true but someone who watched the bills suffer with bad QB play for 20 years we overpaid mediocrity and it didn’t serve us any. We shouldn’t have paid Ryan Fitzpatrick and Tyrod Taylor.

I get it. You don’t want to pay a non top 5 guy like a top 5 guy but I do think in the right scheme as we saw with the 49ers last year and the Lions this year you can take a good QB and get top 5 play out of him.
My big issue is if they aren’t going to give him a good OLine the league will exploit his weaknesses and he will end up being a mediocre QB.

A good OL takes cash. If it’s all tied up with Purdy less dollars to go around.

True but they will structure the contract well to keep the cap hits low for the first few years and then restructure as they get huge. 49ers are masters at that.
