When he first took over as the starting quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers and showed immediate success, his contract immediately became the biggest bargain in sports. Brock Purdy earned less than a million dollars as the final pick of the 2022 NFL Draft when he first came into the league. Immediately taking the team to the NFC Championship Game in his first year, before following it with a trip to the Super Bowl, made him a prime candidate for an extension.
An extension seemed inevitable, with his individual success coming hand-in-hand with the team’s remaining perennial contender in the NFC. Even though the 49ers could have likely waited longer, they chose to make the deal official this summer, during an offseason when they made drastic changes to the roster.
What Is Brock Purdy’s Contract?
Once it became clear that an extension was coming, the only real question was the number. Since Patrick Mahomes’ contract, worth 10 years and $450 million, came into existence, the average annual number for quarterbacks has only steadily increased.
MVPs like Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson, alongside consistent Pro Bowlers like Jared Goff and Joe Burrow, all earned upwards of $50 million. However, the 2024 offseason saw Jordan Love and Trevor Lawrence also get blockbuster extensions.
Then, Dak Prescott broke the market by becoming the highest-paid player in NFL history with a four-year contract worth $240 million. On a comparative basis, Purdy has just as many, if not more, accomplishments with the 49ers.
As a result, there was real speculation about his contract. Ultimately, a deal came to fruition, with the news arriving on a five-year deal worth $265 million extension on May 20, 2025.
40% of the total sum ($100 million) was guaranteed to Purdy at the time of signing, with a full no-trade clause the only additional caveat in the former Pro Bowler’s deal.
What Is Purdy’s Salary?
Thanks to his new contract, Purdy is set to earn an average annual value of $53 million. However, that number isn’t distributed equally between the years.
For instance, in 2025, he’s slated to earn a base salary of $1,100,000, a signing bonus of $40,000,000, and a workout bonus of $8,820. That equates to a cap hit of $9,128,073, which remains remarkably low compared to the other quarterbacks in the league.
That number is 25th among quarterbacks, behind names like Anthony Richardson, Russell Wilson, and Sam Darnold.
What Is Purdy’s Net Worth?
According to most online sources, Purdy is in his fourth year as an NFL player and has a net worth of $20 million. That turnaround is bizarre for a player whose previous contract had an average annual value under $1 million.
However, the number is only expected to increase in the coming years as his new extension kicks in and his salary significantly jumps. His salary as a quarterback isn’t the only way he’s earning money, though.
His popularity and success in the position have also made him a darling for media deals and brand endorsements. He already has partnerships with Alaska Airlines, Buffalo Wild Wings, Ariat, Pioneer Seeds, and John Deere.
Most notably, he signed a deal with Toyota, which was a monumental move as he became the first player under their banner after the company signed a vehicle sponsorship deal with the NFL in October 2023.
49ers Players’ Outlooks for Week 7
Here’s what PFSN’s Kyle Soppe wrote on the notable 49ers players’ fantasy outlooks for the Week 7 matchup against the Falcons:
Mac Jones
I don’t want to say that the clock struck midnight on Mac Jones over the weekend because he still threw for 347 yards against the Buccaneers, but he didn’t account for a touchdown, threw a pair of picks, and lost 51 yards via six sacks.
I can’t really put all the blame at his feet; he’s working with a backup cast and doing the best he can, but when Jake Tonges is consistently a featured part of your attack, there’s some downside to consider.
What Jones could do in this spot intrigues me should he get two valuable pieces back (George Kittle and Ricky Pearsall), though that remains to be seen, and it’s just as likely that Brock Purdy (toe) returns to start for this team.
I love that Jones funneled 24 of 37 targets (64.9%) to his three primary weapons, and that five different players had catches of more than 15 yards. He’s done enough, along with the scheming excellence of Kyle Shanahan, to be worthy of your consideration when he gets a chance, but I’m only going this direction this week if he has more in the way of reinforcements.
Christian McCaffrey
Robinson technically pulled ahead of Christian McCaffrey for RB1 honors through six weeks in terms of PPR PPG.
“Technically pulled ahead.”
The fact that it’s that tight is insane to me. Robinson is averaging 5.8 yards per carry, while McCaffrey is at 3.1 and has not had a rush of more than 15 yards this season. I can’t imagine the rushing numbers getting worse, and the fact that he can improve dramatically is difficult to comprehend.
CMC scored his first rushing touchdown of the season over the weekend against the Buccaneers (he’s scored in four of his past five games) and is pacing for 130 receptions.
We are spoiled to have these two stars sharing a field this week.
George Kittle
The top of the TE board has been brutal this season. Brock Bowers has been banged up, Trey McBride’s QB missed Week 6, and we haven’t seen George Kittle since the opener.
The latter could be rectified this week, as there is cautious optimism that we get San Francisco’s former All-Pro back from the hamstring injury that he suffered after turning 13 routes into 12.5 PPR points in the Week 1 win in Seattle.
Outside of “bad injury vibes” for the 49ers, I can’t imagine a world in which you’re not jumping at the opportunity to reinsert him into your lineup the second he’s deemed active. He set career highs in fantasy points over expectation, red-zone target rate, and PPR points per target in 2021, production levels I’d expect to return sooner rather than later.
Is there risk involved with betting on a tight end who is at less than full strength? Of course, but there’s more risk in betting on the inferior talent that you’ve been replacing him with over the past month-plus, so I’m not wasting time overthinking this one.
For those who celebrate, National Tight End Day occurs one week from Sunday.
Jauan Jennings
Do we really know what a healthy Jauan Jennings looks like?
He’s been battling rib and ankle injuries for a month now, and while he’s taken the field twice over that stretch, he’s produced under a half-yard per route and has been a shell of himself. I’m done guessing.
There are situations where I’ll jump the line and be early, but this isn’t one, given the lingering nature of these ailments. When this roster is whole, are we sure that there is a fantasy-viable role for Jennings to step into?
Ricky Pearsall is going to be tasked with stretching the field, and that opens up the short passing game. That’s good for Jennings’ profile, but with George Kittle and Christian McCaffrey soaking up those looks in bulk, I have Jennings looking at more of a five-target type of role, and that’s a low-end flex at best in a Brock Purdy-led offense.
Injuries could continue to vault Jennings into a reasonable role this week, but the Falcons are the best YAC defense against opposing wide receivers this season. Should Pearsall sit, I’ll end up ranking Jennings and Kendrick Bourne in the same tier, one that sits just outside the top 30 at the position.
