As a disappointing season of San Francisco 49ers football inches closer to the finish line, the future of quarterback Brock Purdy has come into question.

Purdy, the last pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, is reportedly looking to sign a lucrative contract extension after leading the 49ers back-to-back playoff runs in 2022 and 2023.

During Wednesday morning’s edition of The Carmichael Dave Show with Jason Ross, former NFL quarterback Sean Salisbury joined the show to share his thoughts on Purdy’s future and raised an interesting question:

Could the 49ers franchise tag Purdy this offseason and revisit contract talks down the line?
