The San Francisco 49ers are expected to re-sign quarterback Brock Purdy to a contract extension this offseason. The final pick of the 2022 NFL Draft will enter the final year of his rookie deal in 2025, so there appears to be a good chance he gets signed long-term before next season.
ESPN’s Dan Graziano reported Saturday that there's a chance Purdy's new contract exceeds $55 million per year. Currently Trevor Lawrence, Jordan Love, and Joe Burrow are all making an average salary of $55 million, the second-highest average per year behind Dak Prescott, who makes $60 million per year. Of those three, only Burrow is clearly more accomplished than Purdy, who has helped the 49ers reach two NFC championship games and the Super Bowl.
