Brock Purdy is anything but irrelevant now as the quarterback inked a five-year, $265 million extension with the San Francisco 49ers.
A team official confirmed the contract details to USA TODAY Sports’ Tyler Dragon. The person requested anonymity because the contract is not yet finalized.
The quarterback has been living an NFL dream life, rising from the ranks of being the last pick in the 2022 NFL draft to now earning a big payday from one of the league’s most historic franchises.
Purdy helped guide the 49ers to a Super Bowl appearance in his rookie season after injuries claimed the San Francisco quarterbacks. He has posted a 23-13 record in 36 regular season starts over those three seasons, earning a Pro Bowl appearance and finishing fourth in MVP voting for 2023.
San Francisco is coming off a down year, but will hope to compete once again amongst the league’s best in 2025.
They also finalized an extension with George Kittle earlier this offseason, inking the star tight end to a four-year deal worth up to $76.4 million with $40 million in guarantees, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. That made him the highest-paid tight end in NFL history.
Now Purdy gets his turn to cash in. Here’s a look at quarterback’s newest contract details.
Brock Purdy contract details
Purdy agreed to a five-year deal worth $265 million, according to reports.
The deal carries an average annual value (AAV) of $53 million, tying him the seventh highest-paid quarterback with the Detroit Lions’ Jared Goff, according to OverTheCap.
The 25-year-old was entering the final year of his rookie contract in 2025, which carried a cap hit of around $5.36 million after earning about $2.63 million for his first three seasons combined.
Brock Purdy stats
Purdy is coming off a 2024 season that saw him post a 6-9 record in 15 starts. He posted a career-low with a 65.9% completion rate, while tossing 12 interceptions and getting sacked 31 times – both career-highs.
By all accounts, it was a disappointing season for the quarterback in a year of disappointment for the 49ers. Despite that, Purdy has done nothing but mostly win since arriving in the Bay Area.
It remains to be seen if perception will change following the big-money deal, but it’s clear that Purdy will have to be the driving force behind 49ers’ victories moving forward.
After all, they aren’t paying him to be a passenger.
