The San Francisco 49ers have made a significant move by securing quarterback Brock Purdy with a lucrative five-year, $265 million contract extension, with $181 million guaranteed. Despite being the last pick in the 2022 NFL draft, Purdy quickly proved his worth by leading the team to consecutive playoff appearances, including a Super Bowl run in 2024. His impressive performance earned him a Pro Bowl selection and a fourth-place finish in MVP voting that season.
Even amidst the team’s challenging 6-11 season in 2024, Purdy maintained strong statistics, throwing for 3,864 yards, 20 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions. Over three seasons, he boasts a 67.5% completion rate, with a total of 9,518 passing yards, 64 touchdowns, and 27 interceptions. The extension, negotiated as Purdy enters the final year of his rookie contract in 2025, signals the 49ers’ commitment to him as their long-term franchise quarterback.
General manager John Lynch’s confidence in reaching this agreement was evident during the NFL league meetings in Florida. Purdy himself expressed his desire to remain with the team, emphasizing his role as the leader the organization needs to achieve its goals. With this deal in place, the 49ers are poised to return to playoff contention under Purdy’s leadership, aiming to bounce back from their disappointing previous season.
