181mm Guaranteed

I just don't see him in that stratospheric level of $53mm/year.
I guess that tells me the demands of the position and how difficult it is to find someone to do that particular job.
It also once again demonstrates the value of a rookie QB contract.

I figured he'd be getting Love $$ who averages $55m

Its the mkt today for NFL QB and he was always going to get mkt. 

We can argue till the cows come home if he's worth it or not.

He can now afford a modest condo near SF.

[FLVike]

Well. we shouldn't have to worry about the 49ers for a decade.

A mid level starter on a top level contract puts a ceiling on a team. Competitive but unlikely to ever win it all.

What would a new Mahomes contract look like these days, it is ridiculous money. Instead of a team cap, I have always thought there should be a position cap, which would have kept salaries from getting out of control.

Purdy's situation is pretty tough. He's not a dominant or flashy QB, but he's obviously a grinder and has proven to be a gamer in ridiculous circumstances.

He's been to the Big Game, took it to overtime, when Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson have been watching either with tickets or on the couch.

It's tough to get excited about him, but kinda easy to be impressed by him.

San Fran had no choice AND they like Purdy a ton more than some fans. This was always going to happen. Amazing that the guy made less than a million per year on his original contract. You have to be happy for the kid, from all sources he's a good dude. And he's only 25 years old. The maturity on Purdy is off the chart. Brock doesn't have a great arm, but he does throw a nice tight spiral, helps with accuracy.
