Brock Purdy signed his five-year, $256 million extension on Wednesday.
It was a relief to the 49ers quarterback to get the deal done in the offseason.
“I have [so much respect for everybody](https://www.49erswebzone.com/articles/191307-blessing-brock-purdy-leading-revival/) in this organization from the top down,” Purdy said, via David Bonilla of 49erswebzone.com. “I think they know who I am and what I’m about. And I don’t know if there was a narrative of Brock’s going to take a pay cut because he’s a nice guy or this or that, but for me, it’s I play in the NFL. There’s 32 starting quarterbacks, and those guys, it’s not the easiest job in the world.
“And for me, with what I’ve done and everything, I could hang my hat on the fact that I’ve had success in this league, and I’m capable of leading an organization all the way to the end—the Super Bowl. I proved that.”
Purdy’s deal has a [new-money average of $53 million](https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/inside-the-brock-purdy-deal) per year, and the six-year deal, from signing, has an annual value of $45.057 million.
Purdy said in January he wanted a deal completed sooner than later. While it didn’t get done before the start of the offseason program as hoped, it is signed before organized team activities begin.
“Obviously, I was hopeful to get something done early,” Purdy said. “It would have been nice to have it done going into the offseason program as a whole, but obviously, there’s a process to it, and both sides have their views, and that’s the whole point of negotiating. But, at the end of the day, I didn’t want to lose sight of the main goal here, knowing that I’m going to be the quarterback of this team this year.”
The 49ers went 6-11 last season after Purdy was 17-4 as a starter his first two seasons. So, the team and its quarterback are looking for a rebound in 2025.
