Brock Purdy, the quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, recently had his contract details leaked, highlighting the complexities of how NFL deals are presented. The reported contract is a six-year deal worth $279.346 million, which averages $45.057 million per year starting from signing. This puts him among the higher earners in the league, with a best-case scenario touting $265 million over five years, equating to $53 million per year, tying him for seventh with Jared Goff.
However, it’s important to note that the contract is not simply a new five-year extension; it replaces Purdy’s remaining contract for 2025, which had a salary of $5.346 million. The current perception is that Purdy ranks as a middle-of-the-pack quarterback, roughly around 16th in the NFL, which is notable considering he was the last pick in the 2022 draft.
Key components of the contract still need clarity: the signing bonus, the amount guaranteed at signing, and the cash flow over the first three years. The structure will also indicate how long the 49ers are committed to Purdy—generally, teams do not fully commit to more than three years for non-rookie contracts. Thus, as more information becomes available, the real implications of the deal will be revealed, generally suggesting that a delayed understanding often uncovers less favorable aspects of such contracts.
