Micah Parsons serves 49ers harsh Brock Purdy reality check amid San Francisco's mass exodus in free agency

The San Francisco 49ers’ offseason is off to a brutal start. Seven key free agents walked on Monday, and more departures could be on the way. San Francisco is dealing with the potential losses of Kyle Juszczyk, Javon Hargrave and Maliek Collins, leaving massive holes on both sides of the ball. After back-to-back NFC championships and a Super Bowl run, the team’s roster is undergoing a shakeup that could redefine its competitive window.

At the center of it all is Brock Purdy. Despite proving himself as a franchise QB, Purdy’s rookie contract is nearing its end, forcing a high-stakes extension battle. The 49ers reportedly offered $45 million per season, but market projections put his value closer to $55 million annually. If a deal isn’t reached, San Francisco risks long-term instability at the most important position.

Micah Parsons shared his thoughts on Tuesday and the Dallas Cowboys star linebacker didn’t hold back.

"No more rookie QB lol welcome to reality!" Parsons tweeted.

Parsons’ tweet is a clear shot at Purdy. His message underscores the growing pressure on the 49ers’ young signal-caller. Gone are the days of playing with a stacked roster on a cheap contract. With veterans leaving and a hefty new deal looming, Purdy is stepping into uncharted territory.

For San Francisco, the next few weeks are critical. Do they go all-in on Purdy and reshape the roster around him, or does the team hesitate and risk future friction? The 49ers' Super Bowl window just got a whole lot more complicated.

49ers face tough choices as Brock Purdy pushes for a massive payday

The 49ers’ offseason has gotten more complicated. Brock Purdy wants a massive payday, and San Francisco is already bleeding key talent. The franchise is facing a brutal roster shake-up while trying to lock down its franchise QB.

Purdy, fresh off a Super Bowl appearance in 2023, is pushing for a deal that reflects his rise from "Mr. Irrelevant" to one of the league’s most efficient passers. The 49ers reportedly offered $45 million per season, but without a fifth-year option to delay negotiations, they are forced to make tough financial decisions.

To keep Purdy happy and still field a competitive roster, San Francisco had to let go of key veterans. The salary cap crunch, combined with injury concerns at skill positions, has put the front office in a bind. If it doesn't find the right balance, it risks losing momentum from its NFC dominance.

Purdy’s contract drama may not just be about money, it’s about the 49ers’ future.
