Russell's out of his prime. I don't think the 9ers are looking for a bridge QB at the moment. Maybe they did not need to give Purdy the contract extension this year but it makes 0 sense for them to have signed RW. They would've just drafted a QB if Purdy sucked this upcoming season. If he went off they would've signed him to a higher contract then they did.
If Purdy plays well this year it was a good contract. The only way this contract looks bad is he completely craps the bed. QBs aren't cheap considering Daniel Jones and Geno Smith were making 32M
