He may go for less than other big names, but there won\u2019t be much of a cut price.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI haven\u2019t talked to the agent, but I know people that have, and he\u2019s not going for this three years, $40 million [annually], all of it guaranteed, $120 [million total],\u201d Krueger said. \u201cThey\u2019re not going an AAV of $40 million when [<a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/sports\/nfl\/dallas-cowboys\/\">Dallas Cowboys<\/a> QB] Dak Prescott\u2019s at $60 million\u2026 So I think there\u2019s potential for Brock to maybe give the Niners some form of a discount so they can build a roster around him that enables him to compete for a championship, but I think you\u2019re crazy if you think he\u2019s settling for $45 million.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Essentially, the $50-60 million estimate that fans have heard before is the hope, not the starting point. That\u2019s a huge deal, but it is also what NFL teams have to pay to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/sports\/nfl\/san-francisco-49ers\/nfl-exec-says-brock-purdy-contract-no-longer-slam-dunk\/\">keep a good QB around.<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>ESPN Analyst Estimates Purdy\u2019s Next Deal<\/h2>\n<p>Purdy\u2019s next contract has been a talking point since the 49ers\u2019 run to the 2024 Super Bowl. But\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/tag\/brock-purdy\/\">the San Francisco QB<\/a>\u00a0still had 2 years on his rookie deal, so an extension was always going to be something the 49ers would deal with in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>For ESPN analyst Bill Barnwell, the Prescott deal is still the benchmark. Purdy\u2019s agents will likely try to get him\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/sports\/nfl\/san-francisco-49ers\/49ers-qb-brock-purdy-predicted-to-sign-record-breaking-contract\/\">an even bigger deal<\/a> than the Cowboys QB\u2019s, but whether that happens or not after a middling year remains to be seen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the 49ers pay the going rate for a franchise quarterback next year, they\u2019re topping the deal\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/tag\/dak-prescott\/\">Dak Prescott<\/a>\u00a0just inked with the Cowboys, which is north of $60 million per season,\u201d\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com.sg\/nfl\/insider\/story\/_\/id\/42910575\/2025-offseason-moves-fix-49ers-bengals-cowboys-jets-trades-cuts-firings-signings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">Barnwell wrote<\/a>\u00a0on December 12. \u201cI suggested over the summer a Purdy deal would come in at five years and $235 million, or $65 million per year. That\u2019s still the number he and his agents are likely targeting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>$65 million per season would make Purdy the highest-paid QB in the NFL. Prescott gets his $60+ million per year, but no one else hits the $60 million mark.<\/p>\n<h2>Purdy\u2019s Mixed Bag in Recent 49ers Loss<\/h2>\n<p>As has been the case for the majority of the season, San Francisco saw themselves live and die by Purdy against the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/sports\/nfl\/miami-dolphins\/\">Miami Dolphins<\/a>. His two touchdown passes kept the game in reach, and his 313 passing yards was critical as the Niners only ran for 81 yards.<\/p>\n<p>However, his biggest mistake of the game ended San Francisco\u2019s chances. Down 22-17, the 49ers had the ball with over 2 minutes remaining.
