PURDY PAYDAY LOOMING? 49ers & QB Brock Purdy Reportedly in Heated Negotiations Over Contract Extension
in American Footbal
The 49ers have a potential franchise-defining decision ahead of them — and it centers around the man who’s quickly become the face of their offense: Brock Purdy. According to recent reports, Purdy’s camp is pushing for a massive extension, reportedly asking for $55 million per year, while the 49ers are looking to keep the number closer to $50 million annually
But it’s not just about the average yearly salary — the real sticking points are contract length and guaranteed money. Sources indicate that San Francisco is favoring a 3-year deal, providing more flexibility with the roster and cap management moving forward. On the flip side, Purdy’s team is aiming for a 5-year commitment, giving their client long-term security and locking in his value before the market continues to rise.
This is a critical moment for the 49ers’ front office. While Purdy was once the ultimate bargain — “Mr. Irrelevant” turned QB1 on a rookie-scale salary — he’s now in line to join the NFL’s top-paid quarterbacks. His performance, leadership, and poise under pressure have earned him that leverage, but with other stars like Brandon Aiyuk still in contract limbo, fans are understandably nervous
The 49ers can’t afford a repeat of Aiyuk’s drawn-out negotiations or risk alienating a player who has quickly become central to their championship hopes. At the same time, they must balance the need to maintain a deep, competitive roster around Purd
The question now is simple: Can both sides find common ground before things turn tense? Time will tell — but one thing’s for sure: the eyes of the NFL are watching this one closely
