The San Francisco 49ers signed quarterback Brock Purdy to a five-year, $265 million contract extension, including $181 million guaranteed, as reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The deal brokered by his agent Kyle Strongin, averages $53 million annually, and keeps the 2022 Mr. Irrelevant with the team through 2030.
Purdy earned this contract after leading the 49ers to Super Bowl LVIII and posting a 2024 season with 3,864 yards and 20 touchdowns, despite some challenges. His clutch performance, like the 2024 game-winning drive against the Packers, proved his value to Kyle Shanahan’s offense.
At 25, Purdy has become a key piece for the 49ers, far surpassing his last-pick draft status. This extension comes after a turbulent offseason for San Francisco, which saw the departure of several players like wide receiver Deebo Samuel, who was traded to the Commanders, and cornerback Charvarius Ward, who joined the Colts.
