Quarterback Brock Purdy will become eligible for a contract extension on Jan. 6 .

Purdy is slated to make $1.1 million in base salary in 2025 , the final year of his rookie contract.

The Dallas Cowboys' Dak Prescott set the market with a four-year , $240 million extension in September .

The 49ers lost to the Miami Dolphins in Week 16 and were eliminated from postseason contention.

The 49ers could choose to pay top of the market money to Purdy .

Purdy has produced well beyond his rookie contract and offered much-needed stability at the position.

The Niners could let Purdy play out the season and use the tag if they struggle to re-sign him after 2025 .

Shanahan fired Steve Wilks after one season after Super Bowl loss.

The 49ers are no strangers to coaching staff turnover.

The defense has been solid in some basic categories, but that group is 30th in the league in red zone defense.
