49ers Finalize $265M Brock Purdy Extension

Brock Purdy, once the last pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, has secured a landmark five-year, $265 million contract extension with the San Francisco 49ers, making him one of the highest-paid quarterbacks in the league. The deal includes $181 million in guarantees, with $165.05 million guaranteed in the first three years, underscoring the 49ers’ commitment to Purdy as their franchise quarterback through 2030. Purdy’s rise has been remarkable, leading the 49ers to a Super Bowl appearance and earning a Pro Bowl nod and top MVP voting finishes despite a challenging 2024 season marked by injuries and a team performance decline. The extension follows significant roster moves, including a lucrative contract for tight end George Kittle, signaling a broader team strategy focused on youth and long-term competitiveness. While Purdy’s 2024 performance sparked debate about his elite status, his overall contributions have helped transform the 49ers into perennial contenders. The franchise and its leadership, including owner Jed York and coach Kyle Shanahan, have publicly praised Purdy, emphasizing their belief in his talent and leadership.
