The San Francisco 49ers successfully secured quarterback Brock Purdy with a five-year, $265 million contract extension, making him the seventh highest-paid quarterback in the NFL. Purdy’s ascent is remarkable, having emerged as the last pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, often referred to as 'Mr. Irrelevant'. His performance since taking the reins as the starter has been commendable, reflecting consistent improvement and reliability.

This deal underscores the 49ers' commitment to building around Purdy, recognizing his potential to lead the team in a competitive NFC West division. As the 2023 season approaches, this contract not only solidifies Purdy’s role but also sets the tone for the franchise's future.
