49ers Rumors: Brock Purdy's Contract 'Likely' to be Similar to Daniel Jones' Deal

As Brock Purdy and the San Francisco 49ers have both indicated they want to get a contract extension done quickly this offseason, the eventual deal that he gets may not be as expensive as once thought.

Per ESPN's Dan Graziano, there's a belief among some people around the NFL that Purdy's extension will "likely" be structured similarly to Daniel Jones' contract with the New York Giants.

Jones signed a four-year, $160 million deal with the Giants in March 2023 that included $92 million in total guarantees. Purdy's deal would be for more money to account for inflation.

Graziano's prediction is Purdy will end up signing a four-year, $196 million extension with $112 million guaranteed. The $49 million average annual salary would rank 10th among all current quarterback contracts, putting him between Jalen Hurts ($51 million) and Kyler Murray ($46.1 million).

While that's not an insignificant figure for a team to take on, it would represent a discount compared to what some previous projections had for Purdy.

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero said on The Rich Eisen Show (h/t David Bonilla of 49ersWebZone.com) in December that Purdy could pursue "top of the quarterback market" money, which is currently at $60 million for Dak Prescott.

Speaking to reporters after the 49ers' season ended, Purdy said he wants to get an extension "done quick" so that both sides can focus all of their attention on a full offseason program.

Even though the 49ers have a history of dragging out negotiations with their star players, getting a deal done with Purdy early would allow them to know exactly how much wiggle room they have to make any potential additions in free agency.

Purdy did take a step back this season compared to 2023, in no small part because injuries decimated the 49ers roster. He still had a solid year with 3,864 passing yards and 20 touchdowns in 15 starts. His 67.9 QBR ranked seventh out of 32 qualified quarterbacks.

The 49ers missed the playoffs for the first time since 2020 with a 6-11 record. They had won at least 10 games and reached the NFC Championship Game in each of the previous three seasons.
