Overview

• Purdy signed a five-year, $265 million extension in May that places him among the top quarterbacks by total value and ties him near seventh in average annual salary at about $53 million.
• The contract emphasizes security with $100 million fully guaranteed at signing, rolling future guarantees and a no-trade clause.
• Market context mattered, as Josh Allen’s $55 million-per-year extension and Trevor Lawrence’s deal served as key reference points during negotiations.
• An April phone call from Shanahan reassured Purdy about his standing and helped keep the process on track, leading to a relatively drama-free agreement.
• Camp reports highlight Purdy’s more vocal leadership with teammates like Ricky Pearsall and Jauan Jennings, while the team addresses early receiver shortages — Aiyuk on PUP and Demarcus Robinson suspended — by trading for Skyy Moore after dealing Deebo Samuel earlier in the offseason.
