One of the biggest stories of the\u00a0NFL\u00a0offseason has been the contract extension saga between\u00a0Brock Purdy\u00a0and the\u00a0San Francisco 49ers. Purdy has reportedly been seeking a salary north of $60 million.<\/p>\n
Multiple reports have come out suggesting the two sides have been talking and discussing, but nothing imminent. Meanwhile, The Athletic’s Dianna Russini revealed on her Scoop City Podcast that she believes the Niners and Purdy could be much closer to making a deal than we believe.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think there\u2019s some talk out there that they\u2019re far apart on this and that this is going to take a while. I don\u2019t get that sense. The sense that I\u2019m getting is that they\u2019re closer than what we think. I don’t believe Brock Purdy shows up for OTAs if he doesn\u2019t feel good that they\u2019re near a number that he\u2019s happy with. That\u2019s how it usually works with players.” Russini said.<\/p>\n
“Very rarely are guys showing up if they\u2019re that far apart. To me, that action alone tells me they\u2019re close, but also, doing some digging on it, I think this is still moving in a really good direction. I don\u2019t think there should be any concern.\u201d<\/p>\n
Purdy has become one of the best stories in all of sports. Selected with the final pick in the 2022\u00a0NFL Draft, “Mr. Irrelevant” has led the Niners to a\u00a0Super Bowl\u00a0appearance and an additional NFC Conference Championship appearance.<\/p>\n
In his three years in the NFL, all with the Niners, Purdy has thrown for 9,518 yards and 64 touchdowns to just 27 interceptions. As a starter in the regular season, Purdy sports a career 23-13 record. Purdy was named to his first Pro Bowl in 2023, finishing fourth in MVP voting.<\/p>\n
In the playoffs, Purdy has a 4-2 career record, throwing for 1,343 yards and six touchdowns with just one interception.<\/p>\n
Purdy’s rookie scale contract has been one of the best value contracts in the NFL. His salary was less than $1 million in each of his first three NFL seasons, and has a base salary of just $5,346,000 in 2025, per Spotrac.<\/p>\n
