Overview
- Brock Purdy signed a five-year, $265 million extension with the San Francisco 49ers on May 16, 2025, including $181 million guaranteed and a rare no-trade clause.
- The deal ties Purdy with Jared Goff as the seventh-highest paid NFL quarterback by average annual value at $53 million per year.
- Purdy's rapid rise from 2022's final draft pick to leading the 49ers to two NFC Championship games and a Super Bowl appearance underpins the team's investment.
- NFL analysts are examining the contract's fine print, including signing bonus details, guarantee triggers, and early-year cash flow, to assess its long-term implications.
- Skepticism remains over whether the deal offers the 49ers flexibility to exit if Purdy's performance declines, echoing concerns from previous high-profile contracts.
