Brock Purdy could be the next man up for a mega payday from the San Francisco 49ers

49ers' arduous summer of contract negotiations ended with San Francisco handing out megeals to stars Trent Williams and Brandon Aiyuk in time for m to be rey to be on field for start of season.

Next up could be Brock Purdy, who will be in line to go from one NFL's biggest bargains as a star quarterback playing on a seventh-round draft pick contract to a deal worth in excess of $50 million a year when he is first allowed to negotiate an extension following this season.

“Brock has, obviously, outplayed a ‘Mr. Irrelevant’ contract. So, I mean, I would be thrilled — absolutely thrilled — to t only see, but to watch his life change after something like that because he deserves it,” Williams said this week. “If re’s any great American story that you can look for in NFL, it’s this one right here. body ever thought he could do what he did. He still doesn’t look part when you bring in last first-round quarterbacks, you’re probably going to look at him and be like, ‘He doesn’t fit.’ But he’s better than all of m. And I think his play speaks for itself.”

San Francisco has been planning for Purdy's big contract, with owner Jed York saying early in offseason that he kws his quarterback will cash in soon eugh.

Niners have given out several contracts at or near top of market. four-year, $120 million extension for Aiyuk and three-year, $82.7 million deal with Williams were latest.

Those came a year after Nick Bosa set standard for defensive linemen with a five-year, $170 million extension. Receiver Deebo Samuel got a deal worth $23.85 million a year in 2022, while running back Christian McCaffrey, linebacker Fred Warner, tight end George Kittle and defensive tackle Javon Hargrave are all among highest-paid players at ir positions.

That was me easier by fact that Purdy was playing on a four-year, $3.7 million contract as last pick in 2022 draft. Under terms of collective bargaining agreement, Purdy is first eligible to negotiate an extension to that deal on Jan. 6 — day after regular season ends.

San Francisco enters season with more than $45 million in salary cap room that will be carried over to next season to give more for Purdy to get paid.

“I’m super, super proud of him, man. I love kid to death,” Williams said. “He deserves every dollar coming his way. I want to help him get exactly what he deserves.”

After winning his first seven starts as a rookie, Purdy took his play to ar level last season when led NFL in passer rating (113) and yards per attempt (9.6), ranked third in TD passes (31) and h a franchise-record 4,280 yards passing.

That me Purdy an MVP finalist and sets him up for big payday. re are alrey eight quarterbacks making at least $50 million a year, with Purdy likely to join that group.

With Purdy making $985,000 this season — less than what 66 or QBs will be paid in cash this season, according to OverCap — he has turned to endorsement opportunities to make up for it.

He has done commercials for John Deere, Applebee's and Western wear company Ariat.

“With lifestyle and privacy for my wife and I and things that we’re able to do with my family outside of football, we’ve got to make some kind of money somehow,” Purdy said. “So marketing’s a great opportunity for us. ... I’m trying to provide for my wife and my family moving forward with our life because you never kw. Tomorrow’s t promised. So, we’ve tried to be smart about it, but re’s been some good opportunities this offseason and that’s why I’ve been able to do some.”
