San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy is at the center of one of the biggest contract conversations in the NFL, as a new report from Sporting News reveals a jaw-dropping potential deal: a projected $171 million contract.
Purdy, once known as “Mr. Irrelevant” after being the final pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, has flipped the script on his career and now stands as one of the league’s fastest-rising stars. After leading the 49ers to a Super Bowl appearance and establishing himself as the clear QB1, Purdy is due for a major payday — and according to league insiders, that payday could come sooner rather than later.
The reported contract projection would make Purdy one of the highest-paid quarterbacks in franchise history. While he’s still under his rookie deal, the 49ers may not wait long to lock him in long-term, especially with other elite quarterbacks resetting the market every season.
At $171 million, the deal would reflect the team’s belief that Purdy isn’t just a one-season wonder, but the long-term future of the franchise. More than just stats, Purdy has gained the respect of his teammates and coaches with his poise, leadership, and ability to deliver in big moments.
Fans have taken to social media with mixed reactions — some ecstatic to see Purdy getting the recognition (and compensation) he deserves, while others worry about the cap implications for San Francisco’s stacked roster.
One thing’s for sure: Brock Purdy has earned every dollar of that projection. Now it’s up to the 49ers front office to make it official — or risk letting their rising star hit the market.
This underdog story just got a $171 million twist.
