Brock Purdy’s storybook rise just hit a new chapter—one lined with $265 million. The 49ers’ quarterback has reportedly agreed to a five-year extension that will keep him in San Francisco through 2030 and make him the highest-paid player in franchise history.
Purdy, once dubbed “Mr. Irrelevant” as the final pick of the 2022 NFL Draft, has shattered expectations since taking over under center. Now, he’s not just a key figure on the field—he’s also commanding a deal that places him among the NFL’s financial elite. His new contract includes $181 million guaranteed and an average payout of $53 million per year.
To put that in perspective, Purdy’s deal outpaces Nick Bosa’s $170 million contract from last year, making him the 49ers’ most expensive investment ever. It also surpasses the likes of Trent Williams, Brandon Aiyuk, and Jimmy Garoppolo, who all signed major deals during their time in red and gold.
What’s more, the timing is perfect. With the deal completed before training camp, there’s no drama looming over the season. Both Purdy and the 49ers can now focus squarely on chasing a Super Bowl.
Purdy’s journey is a reminder that draft position doesn’t define destiny—and with this new contract, he’s cemented his status as San Francisco’s franchise cornerstone.
