George Kittle Hopes Brock Purdy Will 'Buy Everything' After Extension

The San Francisco 49ers recently signed star field general Brock Purdy to a five-year, $265 million contract extension, which has been a long time coming.

Now that he is getting paid a lot more, some of his teammates are hoping he can help finance some of the team's parties.

In a recent appearance on the Pat McAfee Show, 49ers superstar tight end George Kittle said that he is expecting his quarterback to start pulling his weight more when it comes to paying for things.

"He's buying everything from here on out," Kittle said. "Hopefully he pays for the Halloween party this year and it's not me and [Kyle Juszczyk] anymore. $265 [million] can put together a better one."

Before his new contract, the 25-year-old QB was getting paid less than a million a year at just over $850,000. Now that he is getting paid $53 million a year, he will no longer have to live with a roommate like he has since 2023.

He will also hopefully use this extension as motivation to help lead the Niners to a better year in 2025 than they had this past season.

San Francisco finished the 2024 season last in the NFC West with a 6-11 record, which means that they missed the playoffs for the first time since 2020. The team dealt with their fair share of injuries, so not all of that disappointment can be placed on Purdy's shoulders.

But now that everyone is hopefully healthy, Purdy will be looking to go out there with his new massive contract and lead the team to a bounce back year in 2025.
