San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy signed a lucrative contract extension last week to make him the seventh-highest paid signal caller in the league on an annual basis. But while capitalizing on his market value as a proven winner with experience at or near the top of the league in numerous statistical categories was a priority, Purdy also said he did not want to take “every penny for myself” in negotiations. The end result was a five-year, $256 million agreement to stick with the 49ers.
Purdy’s deal includes $181 million in total guaranteed money with $165 million of that coming in the first three years. He secured $100 million fully guaranteed at signing.
“We want to make sure that we’re working together with our organization and setting up everybody for success,” Purdy said at his Wednesday media availability. “It’s not just for me to get all the money, as much as I can, but also let’s surround yourself with a great team and players and a great locker room. All those things matter.”
The first year of Purdy’s starting career, 2023, proved his tremendous upside. Not only did the Iowa State product guide the 49ers to Super Bowl LVIII, but he also did so as one of the most productive offensive players in the league. He paced the NFL in yards per attempt, touchdown rate and QBR and finished fourth in MVP voting.
“I don’t know if there was a narrative of ‘Brock’s gonna take a pay cut because he’s a nice guy’ or this or that,” said Purdy. “But for me, man, I play in the NFL. There’s 32 starting quarterbacks, and it’s not the easiest job in the world. And for me, with what I’ve done and everything, I can hang my hat on the fact that I’ve had some success in this league and I’m capable of leading an organization all the way to the end, the Super Bowl. I’ve proved that.”
Consternation around Purdy’s massive contract extension abounds, at least from outside the 49ers organization, due to questions about his individual talent. Purdy, famous for outperforming expectations as the 2022 NFL Draft’s “Mr. Irrelevant,” regressed statistically last season. It remains to be seen how much he can accomplish without an elite supporting cast that features Christian McCaffrey, George Kittle and other stars.
“For me, it’s all about football now,” Purdy said. “However they use the cap space and all that kind of stuff, that’s not my job. My job is to now go and win games and lead this team. But I’m extremely happy and grateful.”

Why Yankees’ Jasson Domínguez impressed Aaron Judge before walk-off home run vs. Rangers
NEW YORK — The surprise ice bath was the result of the walk-off home run.The walk-off home run was the result of not just a center-cut slider and Jasson Domínguez’s powerful bat, but more than a month of steady improvements at the plate from the 22-year-old rookie.That was according to star Aaron Judge, who heaped praise on Domínguez after his solo shot in the ninth inning gave the New York Yankees a 4-3 win over the Texas Rangers and sent Yankee Stadium into a frenzy.Advertisement“Just continuing to improve on his approach,” Judge said. “The swings he’s taking on pitches in the zone — (when) teams leave pitches in the zone on him, he’s hammering them. That’s the biggest thing: approach. Ironing that out.”The blast was the Yankees’ first walk-off home run since Giancarlo Stanton crushed a walk-off grand slam on […]
Oilers bemoan loss of control in Game 1: ‘We’ve got to be an awful lot more mature’
DALLAS – The Edmonton Oilers were mostly in control for the first two periods of Game 1 on Wednesday and, with a two-goal lead, seemed poised to cruise to their ninth win in their last 10 games.And then a combination of a string of penalties and an inability to kill them torpedoed those prospects.AdvertisementThe Oilers allowed three power-play goals to the Dallas Stars in the third period before it was six minutes old, never recovered and lost 6-3 to open the Western Conference final rematch.“We have to be better in that department, all of us, to a man,” Oilers penalty-kill mainstay Darnell Nurse said. “Whether it’s a won battle, a clear, a block, whatever play has to be made on the PK, we have to make it and we didn’t do that enough.”Brett Kulak’s second penalty of the game at […]
Assim como Wendel, Lorran, do Flamengo, também não foi negociado com a Rússia por questão ‘geopolítica’; entenda
A questão geopolítica alegada pelo Botafogo para desistir da contratação de Wendel junto ao Zenit, da Rússia, não é novidade no mercado da bola do Brasil. O Flamengo também enfrentou situação semelhante quando tentou vender Lorran ao mesmo clube. Segundo o blog apurou, a negociação também caiu pela falta de um canal bancário aberto disponível. Ou seja, em função da guerra na Ucrânia e as restrições dos Estados Unidos à Rússia, o sistema bancário dos russos ficam bloqueados para operações internacionais, pelas questões políticas. Segundo pessoas que participaram da operação de Lorran, a situação gerou a falta de pagamento exigido pelo Flamengo, o que fez com o que o clube desistisse do acordo em cima da hora.
Hamilton hopeful of being ‘surprised’ amid concern over 2026 F1 cars
Lewis Hamilton has expressed concern over the direction Formula 1 is being taken in by the sport's incoming new regulations, but says he is hopeful of being "surprised" by the 2026 cars.Radical new engine and design regulations are being introduced ahead of next season, with the proportion of power supplied by the electrical part of the engine increasing from 20 to 50 per cent. Discussions are ongoing around lessening that increase amid fears cars could run out of electrical deployment on straights at certain circuits, while terms have already been reached that will allow engine manufacturers facing a performance shortfall the opportunity to catch up.In a rare exclusive interview at last weekend's Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, Hamilton told Sky Sport Italia: "I don't think it's going in the right direction, personally."But maybe I'll be surprised next year. Maybe we'll arrive […]
