San Francisco 49ers legend Joe Montana publicly supported the franchise’s decision to award Brock Purdy a major five-year, $265 million extension, including $181 million guaranteed, Speaking at the celebrity American Century Championship golf tournament on Sunday, Montana states, “they have to (reward him)”. validating Purdy’s progression from overlooked late-draft pick to reliable franchise signal-caller.
His acceptance of the deal, despite a rocky 2024 campaign, adds veteran gravitas to the move, with Montana commending Purdy’s consistency in the face of adversity. With training camp around the corner, the 49ers need some positive aura given that many think that they’re Super Bowl window has now closed.

Montana sees smart football IQ, no second-year slump
Montana praised Purdy’s maturity and footbal smarts, saying he “plays within himself”, a key reason he avoided the infamous sophomore slump. Instead of trying to overhaul his game, Purdy leaned on his strengths, earning Montana’s respect for trusting structure and team unity.
That contrast is stark compared to Montana’s earlier frustration over big contracts given to players like Jimmy Garoppolo on less proven resumes. Purdy’s command of the offense, even amid injuries and a 6-11 team finish, marked him as a stabilizing force worthy of massive investment.
Brock Purdy and the 49ers’ future
Locking in Purdy solidifies San Francisco’s long-term future at quarterback. At age 25, his deal pushes him into elite QB territory ($53 million annually) anchored by a full no-trade clause that aligns him with the NFL’s top-tier quarterbacks. Criticas have pointed to a dip in performance, but Montana’s seal of approval bolsters team confidence. Teammates like George Kittle and Christian McCaffrey, have publicly supported the deal, praising Purdy’s quiet leadership, team first mentality, and even his thoughtful gestures, like gifting trucks to his offensive line at Christmas.
With key departures and a depleted roster following a disappointing season, the 49ers are ready to build around their passer. Montana’s measured optimism underscores a veteran’s vbelief in the QB’s capability to drive their next chapter. As San Francisco targets a Super Bowl return, Purdy’s ceiling, with Montana’s backing, makes him the franchise’s clear pivot point.
