The San Francisco 49ers signed quarterback Brock Purdy to a five-year, $265 million contract extension last month. The new contract will pay Purdy an average salary of $53 million per year, making Purdy the seventh-highest-paid quarterback in the league.
Though some felt Purdy wasn't deserving of the lofty contract he signed, he still could have tried negotiating for more, or to become one of the top-three highest-paid quarterbacks in the league, which often happens when a starting quarterback signs a new deal. Instead, $53 million was just the right number for Purdy and the team.
