Much of the 49ers’ offseason contract work has been taken care of well before training camp. That includes the long-term extension recently worked out with quarterback Brock Purdy. 
That five-year, $265MM pact ties Purdy to San Francisco through 2030 and ensures his earnings on his second NFL pact will vastly outweigh his first. The former ‘Mr. Irrelevant’ will receive a $40MM signing bonus, Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk details. Other notable payouts include option bonuses due in 2026 ($37.75MM), 2027 ($15MM) and 2028 ($20MM).
Purdy is assured of $100MM at signing, and the outstanding money which is not already locked in for 2027 ($15.35MM) will shift from an injury to a full guarantee on April 1, 2026. A $55.05MM injury guarantee exists for 2028, but $5MM of that total will be fully locked in early if Purdy handles at least a 50% snap share and the 49ers win the Super Bowl this year or next. Of his 2029 compensation, $7.15MM will become a full guarantee on April 1, 2028, with the remaining $5MM vesting one year later. Workout and roster bonuses are present throughout the deal, which includes a non-guaranteed base salary of $49.05MM in its final year.
With an average annual value of $53MM, this deal moves Purdy near the top of the market for quarterback compensation. His pact nevertheless falls short of similar ones signed before this offseason, and considering the trend of QB contracts leapfrogging each other as the cap continues to surge this can be viewed as a team-friendly arrangement. That is particularly true in 2027 when it comes to cashflow – which will stand at $110MM in new money at that point – as Jason Fitzgerald of Over the Cap writes.
“We want to make sure that we’re working together with our organization and setting up everybody for success,” Purdy said when speaking to the media about his extension (via ESPN’s Nick Wagoner). “It’s not just for me to get all the money as much as I can, but also, hey, let’s surround yourself with a great team and players and a great locker room, and all those things mattered.”
In addition to a major spike in pay and a series of rolling guarantees, Purdy’s deal contains a no-trade clause. A number of other terms had been agreed to in the days leading up to the agreement, per Cam Inman of the San Jose Mercury News. Just prior to the deal being signed, though, other elements – one of those likely being the clause – came up in negotiations. Franchise quarterbacks receiving no-trade clauses is nothing new, but Purdy’s deal is the first in 49ers history to include one.
“I think it’s important, yes, but also that’s something that my agent and I had discussed with what other quarterbacks have around the league and stuff in their contract,” the 25-year-old added during his press conference (via Florio). “But, for me, was it going to be a determining factor in signing it or not? No. We were very grateful that we had it in there, but… everything else that the contract entails we’re extremely excited about, so we’re just grateful how it turned out.”
Given the structure of the deal, the 49ers will have Purdy in place atop the depth chart for at least the next three seasons. San Francisco’s first opportunity to move on from the Iowa State product will come during the 2028 offseason before his next round of guarantees kicks in, as a release would yield over $41MM in cap savings while generating a dead money charge of only $16MM. If things go according to plan for team and player, though, such a move will not receive consideration.
It’s impressive how paid players can say so many words and yet say nothing at all.
Well, finding good football athletes at the major colleges that majored in MIME is a bit more difficult than you might think.
Good for him but overpaying for him. He is in middle of QB standings but guess they underpaid him last few years so if they can make the numbers work guess we will see how it ages…… I’m curious how they full roster out now though with his salary going into effect. Gonna be way trickier.. in my opinion he needs more talent around him than others to succeed. Hope he proves me wrong
It’s basically a three-year deal and they can bail after 2027. Either way, it going to be restructured that year if he is still performing well. He isn’t being overpaid either. finished 1st, 2nd & 7th in QBR the last three years and his deal won’t even have him taking up 10% of the salary cap the next 3 years. Both sides come out great on this deal.

Exactly this. He could have made an argument he deserved Dak level money, but the Niners got closer to a Daniel jones level contract. Crazy value with an easy out
What else were the 49ers going to do? They know more than any other team that the draft is a crapshoot.
Under what metrics is he middle of the road?Almost every single one I’ve seem values him in the upper half?
Very talented team, very talented coaching staff. It’s been easy for Purdy to shine. Garopolo shined in SF.
Name at least 3 great quarterbacks that didn’t have that support.
Aaron Rodgers led some fairly mediocre teams to the playoffs. Tom Brady’s Patriots were very inconsistent quality, the offensive coaching was not the best. Philip Rivers did well with some so-so teams. I’m sure someone else can contribute a few more names.
Anyway my point was that Garopolo shined in San Francisco too. Shanahan is not a miracle worker – the QB has to have a modicum of talent to do well, but Purdy is unlikely to do as well anywhere else.
Phillip Rivers did well with so-so teams? Since when are LaDainian Tomlinson, Antonio Gates and Vincent Jackson so-so? He also had Norv Turner as a head coach.
Aaron Rodgers always had good WR to throw to. He just never really had much of a running game to back him up.
Brady had his weapons throughout as well. Moss, Gronk, Welker, Branch
His OC was McDaniels most of the time so he had good coaching and play calling on his side also.
I don’t think any quarterback is going to do well if you don’t give them a good support system. The excuse of the supporting cast is old, tiresome and lazy.
Really? You must not understand English.
Players ask owners for no trade contracts so perhaps owners should ask players to sign no tirade contracts 🙂
