Remember last week, when it was first reported that the 49ers and quarterback Brock Purdy had agreed to a five-year, $265 million contract? On the heels of that news, there was a loud and angry chorus from near and far,

The San Francisco 49ers and Brock Purdy have agreed to a 5-year extension worth $265 million, source confirms to @YahooSports. $181 million in total guarantees. After training camp strife on deals for Nick Bosa, Deebo Samuel & Brandon Aiyuk, SF & its QB don’t draw this one out.

The first year of Purdy's starting career, 2023, proved his tremendous upside. Not only did the Iowa State product guide the 49ers to Super Bowl LVIII, but he also did so as one of the most productive offensive players in the league. He paced the NFL in yards per attempt, touchdown rate and QBR and finished fourth in MVP voting.
