The San Francisco 49ers and quarterback Brock Purdy have agreed to a five-year contract worth $265 million, ESPN and NFL Network reported Friday.
Purdy’s new deal will include $181 million in guaranteed money, according to the reports.
The 49ers have long wanted to lock up Purdy for the future. The former “Mr. Irrelevant” is entering the final year of his rookie contract in 2025.
Purdy, 25, has taken the 49ers to the playoffs twice in three seasons, finishing his rookie year with a loss — and an elbow injury — in the NFC Championship game in January 2023 before piloting San Francisco to the Super Bowl in his second season.
Injury-ridden San Francisco posted a 6-11 record and missed the playoffs in 2024, though Purdy still threw for 3,864 yards and 20 touchdowns with 12 interceptions.
Since taking over as the Niners’ quarterback midway through 2022, Purdy has completed 67.5 percent of his throws for 9,518 yards, 64 touchdowns and 27 interceptions. He was a Pro Bowl selection and placed fourth in league MVP voting in 2023.
