QB Brock Purdy, SF (1 Viewer)

I believe fantasy players have a mental block when it comes to Purdy. They see him as a system QB and a good QB2 for their team. I don't think the fantasy community is comfortable with him as their QB1 and that may never change. I think he could change that line of thinking in 2025.

He’s going to finish as a top-12 fantasy QB again. I still think he’ll be criminally under appreciated again. I don’t know what more people need to see to believe, but it’s tough to shake that Mr. Irrelevant title for some.

I'm a firm believer in the Konami code at QB strategy, and I'm not sure what to make of Purdy's rushing. Last year, he more than doubled his rushing output from the previous year which is great, but not sure if that was a product of CMC being out or not. Probably a little.

He is my QB1 in one dynasty league, and I'm very comfortable with that. I agree with your take here.

In mocks where I wait forever on QB I've been getting a lot of Purdy in rounds 9+ (single QB). Seems like a steal, but QB seems oddly deep this year overall.

George Kittle: Brock Purdy will 'continue to elevate his game' after signing big contract with 49ers

No one ends up posting the actual contact numbers. Cap numbers by year:

https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/player/_/id/77139/brock-purdy/contract/cap

2025: 9 mil
2026: 24.8 mill
2027: 30.8 mill

At this point, the deal is a bargain. The next year is interesting.
2028: 57.6 mill, with 38.6 mill in dead cap. So depending on how Purdy is doing, this could be a time to get out, or even one more year of a bargain. 2028?!? There will probably be $90 million dollar cap hits in 2028. That might be an absolute steal of a cap number in 2028

It's three years, and then we'll see.

You know what it is in cap dollars, roughly? Three years, Lil over $100 mill in cap dollars. Including all dead cap, Good deal for SF, I think

Like most things nowadays, the headlines don't match the substance. Cash paid, this deal will be 2 yrs/$88M or 3/115, and then there are team and player options for continuing with bigger numbers or renegotiating or exiting. Either way, it's a good and fair deal for both sides.
