The San Francisco 49ers have secured their franchise quarterback with a new five-year, $265 million contract extension, worth $181 million guaranteed. Quarterback Brock Purdy was previously signed through the 2025 season on his four-year, $3.7 million rookie contract.
Purdy’s production during his first contract was significant, despite being underpaid. He led the team to two deep playoff runs and earned a stamp of approval from the front office with this deal. The quarterback will now have a new contract to show for it, solidifying his position as the 49ers’ starting quarterback.
Purdy’s agent confirmed the details of the agreement to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. According to Purdy, he wanted to come to terms on a new deal relatively quickly, stating that he was “not really sure what it’s all going to look like or entail.” However, he expressed confidence in his abilities and stated that he is “the guy for this organization” who can help lead the team to success.
The 49ers’ updated salary cap after Purdy’s contract extension will be closely watched. With salaries increasing significantly, Purdy’s $265 million deal sets a new standard for quarterbacks. The quarterback’s journey from being the final pick of the 2022 NFL draft to becoming one of the highest-paid quarterbacks in the league is an impressive one.
Purdy’s success on the field, despite playing with several talented teammates, has made him a valuable asset to the 49ers. His leadership and ability to spearhead deep playoff runs have earned him a new contract that reflects his value to the team.
