The San Francisco 49ers have officially committed to Brock Purdy as their franchise quarterback after a long contract negotiation. On Friday, the 49ers and Purdy agreed to a five-year contract extension worth up to $265 million with $181 million in guaranteed money, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.

There was a lot of discussion around Purdy and whether he had played to the standard worthy of such a massive contract, but the 49ers have clearly given their stance now by locking him up for the foreseeable future.

San Francisco’s starting quarterback led the 49ers to an NFC Championship Game appearance in 2022-23 and a Super Bowl appearance in 2023-24 before missing the playoffs at the end of an injury-riddled 2024 season.

This story will be updated.
