Mark him OUT so I can make a roster move!
I’m thinking about Mac Jones over Trevor Lawrence in Superflex but I just can’t pull the trigger on that idea.
This might be the most annoying thing for me as a Purdy owner in multiple leagues. I keep getting roster locked when he goes back to "questionable" Tuesday despite knowing he will eventually be declared out.
How invested are the 49ers in Purdy? Anybody know?
Per my src in Bay Area,
based on the contract he signed in May, they sure look very invested in him
Brock Purdy has a five-year, $265 million contract extension with the San Francisco 49ers, which includes $181 million guaranteed and an average annual salary of $53 million. The deal, signed in May 2025, also includes a $40 million signing bonus and a no-trade clause.
- Contract Value: $265 million over five years
- Average Annual Salary: $53 million
- Guaranteed Money: $181 million total, with $100 million fully guaranteed at signing
- Signing Bonus: $40 million
- No-Trade Clause: Included for the duration of the deal
- Status: The deal was signed in May 2025, extending him through the 2030 season.
lots of guaranteed money in his deal, and I am not sure he can be easily traded
What is truly important in the contract?
Guarantees and dates of execution, right? And dead cap hits, right? I'm not pefect with reading contracts but I'm getting better, and I look only at guarantees and dates where stuff becomes guaranteed.
This is a diplomatic look at it.

A serious look at it tells you they might have a very reasonable out after 2026, according to some sources. Don't forget, these contracts aren't public so we only know what team, agent, NFLPA, and player tell us, and that's if they want. The dead cap is not that stiff after 2026 if they cut him pre-June 1st, according to Over The Cap. In practical terms, there's wiggle room on this, I think. The most likely is that his base salary is so big that you can convert it to a bonus in a restructure around 2028 or so. But I think they also have a reasonable out after 2026.
