Overview

  • The San Francisco 49ers and Brock Purdy finalized a five-year, $265 million contract extension on May 16, 2025, with $181 million guaranteed.
  • Purdy's $53 million annual salary ties him as the seventh-highest-paid quarterback in the NFL, while the total contract value ranks fifth among quarterbacks.
  • The extension positions Purdy as the team's long-term leader, following his rise from the final pick in the 2022 NFL Draft to Pro Bowl and Super Bowl appearances.
  • To accommodate the deal, the 49ers restructured their roster, parting with several key players and limiting free-agent spending.
  • Despite a challenging 2024 season, leadership's confidence in Purdy remains strong, citing his efficiency metrics and playoff success as justification for the investment.
