Purdy is now tied with Detroit Lions signal caller Jared Goff as the seventh-highest paid QB/player in the NFL. The richest contract in league history, based on annual average salary, still belongs to quarterback Dak Prescott of the Dallas Cowboys at $60 million per season.

Purdy, who originally entered the NFL as the final pick of the 2022 draft, took over as the 49ers' starter during the 2022 season. He led the franchise to a Super Bowl LVIII loss to Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs after the 2023 campaign.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback, the Mr. Irrelevant in the 2022 NFL Draft, Brock Purdy, signed a contract extension. Purdy agreed to sign a five-year, $265 million extension that includes $181 million guaranteed. After being drafted in the seventh round, 262nd overall, Purdy was the very last pick in the 2022 NFL Draft.
