The San Francisco 49ers have secured quarterback Brock Purdy’s future with a five-year, $265 million contract extension, according to sources. The deal includes $181 million in guaranteed money and has an average salary of $53 million per year.
Purdy, who was drafted by the 49ers as the last pick in the 2022 NFL draft, has quickly established himself as the team’s starting quarterback. Despite a disappointing 6-11 season in 2024, where he faced injuries to key players on his supporting cast, Purdy remains confident in his abilities and the 49ers’ chances of winning a Super Bowl.
General manager John Lynch had expressed optimism about a deal being reached earlier this year, stating that “we’re going to get the deal done.” The negotiation process was reportedly smooth, with Purdy expressing his desire to handle business in a respectful manner and return to his team quickly.
The contract extension is significant, not only for Purdy but also for the 49ers. It’s a testament to their commitment to their quarterback and a sign that they’re willing to invest in him as a key player. With this deal settled, Purdy can focus on helping the Niners get back to contention after a down season.
The 49ers also addressed another pressing need on Friday by signing veteran kicker Greg Joseph to a one-year deal.
