Brock Purdy, 49ers Reportedly 'Inching Closer' to New Contract With Top 10 AAV in NFL

Brock Purdy's presence at the start of the San Francisco 49ers' offseason workout program seemed to signal good things about where contract talks stood between the two sides.

Per The Athletic's Dianna Russini, Purdy and the 49ers are "inching closer" to working out a long-term deal that will make him one of the 10 highest-paid players in the NFL by average annual salary.

The 49ers once again find themselves with big contract decisions to make this offseason. Purdy, George Kittle and Fred Warner are all seeking new deals.

From that trio, Kittle's situation is the most pressing. He is entering the final year of his current contract and was not present for the start of the offseason workout program on Tuesday.

Warner is signed through 2026 and doesn't seem like he's setting up for a holdout, despite reportedly not having any "substantive" contract talks with the club.

Purdy, like Kittle, is also entering the final season of his contract. There was talk that he could skip the offseason workout program, but The Athletic's Michael Silver noted on Tuesday him showing up could be an indication that contract talks are "really, really close."

The financial terms of a potential Purdy extension are worth keeping an eye on. There was at one point some thought he could come close to matching Dak Prescott's deal with the Dallas Cowboys at $60 million per season.

While that talk has died down, a top-10 average salary would still be a huge win for Purdy. Jalen Hurts currently ranks 10th in AAV at $51 million on his deal with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Prescott is currently the only player making more than $55 million per season. Jordan Love, Joe Burrow, Trevor Lawrence and Josh Allen are all tied for second in average salary at exactly $55 million.

Purdy's 2025 salary ($5.3 million) is more than double what he made in the previous three seasons combined ($2.48 million). He has far outplayed his rookie deal as the final pick of the 2022 draft.

Despite a disappointing 2024 for the 49ers largely due to injuries, Purdy still played well through it all. He threw for 3,864 yards, 20 touchdowns and 12 interceptions in 15 games.
