Adam Schefter on Brock Purdy's contract status (and a Tyrese Haliburton mention)
- Thread starter JP4CY
- Start date
I'm not going to listen to this, but I've been following this for a while and I feel like I heard about this offer a long time ago. I don't think there is any way he makes less than $45 million a year with a 3-4 year contract, and I think it will be over $50.
So if he played out his contract this year, are there options for insurance policies similar to college players? If he was set to potentially make that $40-$50m per year after this season is there a way to take the injury risk off the table? Cause that’s the big concern. We’ve seen QBs have down years and still get paid stupid amounts of money. But if he tears his knee up, that’s a different story.
Schefty gave a possible (probably not likely but possible) option of:
$5 mil 2025
$41 mil 2026 franchise
$51 mil 2027 franchise
So his numbers are way off. $41 was the number for this off season ($7.5 more than last). Next year (year 1 of tag) will be around $48 and the following will be higher as well.
$0 in 2028 when Purdy signs as a FA with another team. 49ers get nothing in return. Then 49ers trade away their draft picks on another first round bust.
The tag for quarterbacks for 2026 is projected to be $46.186 million, 2027 the projection is $56.014. Purdy's base salary for this season is $5.3 million, so it will cost them a projected is $107.5 million if he plays for them for next 3 years under those terms.
SF YouTube did a breakdown. Not many teams are in need of qb, have already over committed to another qb, or have top 10 draft pick this year. NYG was the only one cited.
I love Brock but if NYG GM traded for Brock they’d run the GM out of town.
Something like that wouldn't be all bad, h ave it wrote into the contract. No income to pay taxes on, the business writes it off, the charity gets the dollars.
This 100%! If they don’t believe in him then they can get a good amount in return for him and also a very high first rd pick after this year because they will be really bad.
Herbert Jackson and Hurts are undervalued based on their contracts, Purdy should be worth more than Goff, Tua and Love
That's why getting only $5 mil this year could be disastrous. They're probably going to be mediocre at best and his numbers will fall off. Then he will have less to stand on considering everyone thinks he's just a system guy. It's not a great situation for Brock.
A team can tag the same player two years in a row, but doing so the 2nd tag will cost the team 120% of the tag the first year for salary. A team can tag a player 3 years in a row or 3 times total, but each time the percent of the tag increases.

I think he means the cap hit. Longer deals can spread the cap implications.A team can tag the same player two years in a row, but doing so the 2nd tag will cost the team 120% of the tag the first year for salary.

True, but I read the 49ers are going to have plenty of cap space going after this season, so tagging Purdy will not be a problem for them. It's always better to have them under contract than tagging them for flexibility, because you can move money around easier. If you tag, then they have to pay him that amount and not slide some of the money into the future.

And the entire salary applies to the cap in the year paid.
