Overview

  • Brock Purdy finalized a five-year, $265 million contract extension with the San Francisco 49ers, including $181 million guaranteed and a no-trade clause.
  • The deal, averaging $53 million annually, followed initial negotiations where Purdy’s camp sought $65 million per season, which the 49ers rejected.
  • Veteran teammates George Kittle, Fred Warner, and Nick Bosa played a pivotal role in advising and supporting Purdy during the negotiations.
  • Purdy has publicly urged Kyle Shanahan and the coaching staff to simplify the offensive scheme and focus on foundational mechanics to enhance his performance.
  • Despite leading the league in success rate last season, Purdy’s passer rating dropped from 113 in 2023 to 96.1 in 2024, prompting his push for adjustments.
