Brock Purdy contract details
As a second-year player, Purdy is still on his rookie contract. Since the value of rookie contracts is dependent on your draft position, the 49ers’ star had a fixed rate after being selected with the very last pick (262nd overall) in the 2022 NFL Draft.
As a result, Purdy signed a four-year, $3.74 million deal with San Francisco after the draft.
Purdy wasn’t expected to be the 49ers’ next franchise quarterback, so there wasn’t any big or flashy signing bonus when he was taken as Mr. Irrelevant.
He will continue to make some extra cash based on incentives, according to CBS Sports’ Jonathan Jones. He made an additional $162,000 for reaching the NFC championship game last year and around another $174,000 for returning to that stage this year. When he led the 49ers to the Super Bowl, he triggered another $89,000 incentive and will add $164,000 if San Francisco wins the whole thing.
Those incentive bonuses are nice, but Purdy’s contract value is still nothing compared to his level of production.
