The 25-year-old received an extra $857,892 from the NFL\u2019s Performance-Based Pay distributions, the league announced on March 12, 2025.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNFL players will receive over $452 million in Performance-Based Pay for their performance during the 2024 season, the NFL announced today. The Performance-Based Pay program is a collectively bargained benefit that compensates all players based upon their playing time and salary levels,\u201d the NFL said in its press release. \u201cPlayers have been paid nearly $2.8 billion cumulatively since the inception of the Performance-Based Pay program, which was implemented during the 2002 season as part of the NFL\u2019s Collective Bargaining Agreement with the NFL Players Association and has been carried forward in three subsequent collective bargaining agreements.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to the NFL, \u201cUnder the Performance-Based Pay program, a fund is created and used as a supplemental form of player compensation based upon a comparison of playing time to salary. Players become eligible to receive a bonus distribution in any regular season in which they play at least one official down. In general, players with higher playtime percentages and lower salaries benefit most from the pool.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Purdy, who was drafted with the final pick of the NFL draft in 2022 by the 49ers out of Iowa State, has one season left on his rookie contract, according to Spotrac. He earned a $985,000 base salary in 2024 and is set to earn $5.3 million in 2025. Purdy started 15 games for San Francisco in 2024, throwing for 3,864 yards with 20 touchdowns and 12 interceptions.<\/p>\n<h2>Brock Purdy Earned the 16th-Highest Payout From the NFL\u2019s PBP Program, While Teammate Dominick Puni Had the 11th Highest Payout<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_5297437\">\n<div>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/GettyImages-2167334278.jpg?quality=65&amp;strip=all&amp;w=727\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 727px) 100vw, 727px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/GettyImages-2167334278.jpg 3600w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/GettyImages-2167334278.jpg?resize=150,110 150w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/GettyImages-2167334278.jpg?resize=300,219 300w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/GettyImages-2167334278.jpg?resize=768,561 768w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/GettyImages-2167334278.jpg?resize=1024,748 1024w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/GettyImages-2167334278.jpg?resize=1536,1122 1536w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/GettyImages-2167334278.jpg?resize=2048,1496 2048w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/GettyImages-2167334278.jpg?resize=727,531 727w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/GettyImages-2167334278.jpg?resize=780,570 780w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/GettyImages-2167334278.jpg?resize=425,310 425w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/GettyImages-2167334278.jpg?resize=660,482 660w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/GettyImages-2167334278.jpg?resize=231,169 231w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/GettyImages-2167334278.jpg?resize=246,180 246w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/GettyImages-2167334278.jpg?resize=205,150 205w\" alt=\"49ers QB Brock Purdy Gets Good News Amid Contract Talks\" width=\"727\" height=\"531\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5297437\" data-lazy-load=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-5297437\">Thearon W. Henderson\/Getty Dominick Puni of the San Francisco 49ers blocks Khalen Saunders of the New Orleans Saints.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Purdy earned the 16th-highest payout from the PBP program. But his teammate, Dominick Puni, received a higher bonus, according to the NFL press release. The rookie offensive guard, who was drafted in the 3rd round out of Kansas last year, earned $898,036, the 11th-highest payout, according to the NFL.<\/p>\n<p>The NFL explained how the payouts are calculated in its press release. \u201cEach player on the same team com\u00adpetes for his own share of his club\u2019s Performance-Based Pay pool. The hypothetical example in the table below illustrates how the Player Index works, using a simplified four-player team and a club bonus pool of $1,000,000. Each player receives his share of the pool depending on how his Index compares to those of his teammates.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The NFL added:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Performance-Based Pay is computed by using a player index (\u201cIndex\u201d). To calculate the Index, a player\u2019s \u201cPBP Playtime\u201d (defined as the player\u2019s regular season total plays played on offense, defense and special teams, divided by the number of plays in which the player with the most total combined plays participated on that team) is divided by his \u201cPBP Compensation\u201d (defined as each player\u2019s regular season full salary, including his prorated portion of signing bonus, and earned incentives). Each player\u2019s Index is then compared to those of all other players on his team to determine the amount of his Performance-Based Pay.<\/p>\n<p>If a player\u2019s full season salary is less than the CBA Minimum Salary for a player with seven or more Credited Seasons, additional salary will be imputed to that player so that his salary is equal to the Minimum Salary for a player with seven or more Credited Seasons (i.e., $1.21M for the 2024 season). By imputing a minimum salary of $1.21 million, a slightly higher percentage of the pool is directed to high-performing veteran players whose salaries exceed $1.21 million, but are not among the highest in the League, as contemplated by the formula. This imputation of salary is solely for the purpose of calculating distributions from the pool and does not affect the actual salary paid to the player under his contract.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Puni earned a base salary of $795,000 in 2024, according to Spotrac. He played in all 17 games for the 49ers in 2024.<\/p>\n<h2>Ian Rapoport Reported a Contract Extension for Purdy Isn\u2019t \u2018Imminent\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>NFL Media insider Ian Rapoport told the \u201cPat McAfee Show\u201d on March 11, \u201cI don\u2019t get the sense that it\u2019s like imminent, imminent. But it\u2019s always coming. So teams do budgeting on out, they know it\u2019s coming and they do have to account for it. You know, what\u2019s the number is going to be is interesting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rapoport added the contract could be around the $55-$60 million average annually salary that several QBs have received recently. He said on the ESPN show, \u201cMy sense is that\u2019s probably the target. Is it going to be higher or lower? I don\u2019t know. Unless they get to a point where they\u2019re right up against the season, like with Brandon Aiyuk last year, that was a big contract, but generally, they\u2019ve been pretty conservative with these contracts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cI\u2019m going to be fascinated to see where this goes. But like in that range right there is where you\u2019re looking. I just don\u2019t know where it actually fits in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>49ers insider Matt Maiocco told Rich Eisen on March 12, \u201cThere\u2019s not much activity with them, and both sides expressed the desire to have this thing done, not necessarily by the start of the new league year, but certainly for the start of the offseason program. You know, one of the major distractions last season was the contract situations that were hanging out there with Trent Williams and with Brandon Aiyuk.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Maiocco added, \u201cWith their quarterback they have to have him in the building, being a leader. I think they\u2019ve got to put their money where their mouth is. John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan have both said that they want, they expect, Brock Purdy to be the quarterback for as long as they\u2019re with the team, so in order to do that I don\u2019t think you can cut any corners. And I don\u2019t think you can pay him like a top 18 quarterback or top 16 or 14. If you think he\u2019s the guy, then they have to pay him.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy might not have a new contract yet, but he got a little bit richer on Wednesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":40942,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-40941","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nba"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
