Trevor Lawrence - English
Brock Purdy, the San Francisco 49ers’ rising star and unexpected quarterback sensation, may be known for his unassuming nature and team-first mentality, but his next contract negotiation is shaping up to be a defining moment, less for Purdy himself and more for his agent, Kyle Strongin.
The outcome of this pivotal negotiation will not only determine Purdy’s financial future but could also establish Strongin’s standing among the NFL’s elite agents or leave him scrambling to prove himself. Strongin, who parted ways with an agency representing Trevor Lawrence before going independent, finds himself in a high-pressure situation.

For Purdy, who was drafted as “Mr. Irrelevant” in 2022 and quickly proved he belongs among the NFL’s premier quarterbacks, the focus may simply be on what’s fair. But for Strongin, Purdy’s next contract carries deeper implications. Purdy is his marquee client, and securing a record-breaking deal could catapult Strongin into the upper echelon of NFL agents.
Strongin’s former agency recently negotiated a $55 million-per-season deal for Lawrence in 2024, creating a benchmark that Strongin may feel compelled to exceed. Achieving a similar deal for Purdy would send a strong message, particularly to his former colleagues, solidifying Strongin’s decision to go independent.
Things might not be as easy as they seem
Yet, the context surrounding Purdy’s trajectory differs significantly from Lawrence’s. While Purdy has showcased his potential on the field, his limited experience as a starter could give the 49ers leverage in keeping the contract’s value below market-shattering numbers.
If Strongin were an established agent like Drew Rosenhaus, the negotiation might unfold differently. Rosenhaus, with a stable of superstar clients, could afford to advise Purdy to prioritize long-term team success over short-term financial gains.
Strongin, however, is still building his reputation, and this negotiation may be as much about his career as it is about Purdy’s future. The pressure to “win” could drive Strongin to seek a deal that sets new records, even if it challenges league norms.
For Purdy, this crossroads is likely less about career validation and more about trusting his agent to navigate the complexities of NFL business. For Strongin, it is a career-defining moment that could position him among the top tier of NFL agents, or leave him fighting to stay relevant.
The result of this high-stakes negotiation will not only shape Purdy’s trajectory with the 49ers but also determine whether Strongin can secure his place in an ultra-competitive industry.

‘Stay brave in the mind’ – Okafor’s plan to keep Leeds in Premier League
"We have to stay brave in the mind," says Leeds forward Noah Okafor, when asked how his new club go about avoiding relegation from the Premier League this season.
