However much Purdy "settled" for, he's still coming out a winner. His rookie contract was worth a combined $2.6 million over three seasons. Now, the 49ers signal-caller will rake in $2.9 million a week over five years.
Brock Purdy said his contract extension with the Niners wasn't about getting as much money as he could, but making sure the team could still build a good roster around him.
In 40 career games with the 49ers, Purdy has completed 67.5% of his passes for 9,518 yards and 64 touchdowns to 27 interceptions. He took over as the starter in 2022 due to injuries and never looked back, guiding the 49ers to an NFC title game appearance in his first year and a Super Bowl appearance in '23.
