Some estimates put Purdy at $60 million a year with the new, potentially life-changing extension. ‘Mr Irrelevant,’ which was the final selection of the 2022 draft.
But San Francisco fell to 6-10 on Monday Night Football with a tough 40-34 home loss. Detroit Lions.
Add a late-game injury to Purdy’s right elbow, and a bad night got worse for the 49ers, who missed the playoffs a year after nearly losing. Patrick Mahomes and Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl.
Purdy told reporters he felt his surgically repaired throwing elbow on fire after he took down Detroit QB Brian Branch with a hard sack.
As Purdy fell to the ground, his elbow hit another Lions defender in the face.
“It doesn’t feel the best,” Purdy said. “But it’s not that bad, so we’ll see tomorrow.”
Currently, the former Iowa State QB is making just $985,000 per year, one of the best contracts in the NFL.
His five-year extension could net him $300 million in salary.
Giving that much money to a QB who was the last pick in the draft and has been plagued by elbow injuries could backfire on a 49ers team that is currently dealing with injury issues. Chemistry problems and other large contracts
NFL Networker Tom Plessero explained the 49ers’ situation with Purdy to The Rich Eisen Show.

“He’s eligible for a contract extension at the start of the regular season, which will likely be the end of the season overall for the 49ers,” Plessero said.
“Next year is a contract year. If there’s going to be a deal, for the reasons I said, I predict it will be at the top of the quarterback market.”
“That’s Dak (Prescott’s) number. That’s $60 million a year.
Are the 49ers willing to go for it, or will they be in a situation where you can reach an offseason stalemate with your starter?
Based on his production, based on playoff success, I’m sure he feels he deserves to be paid at the top of the market.
Purdy played well on Monday before his injury.
He completed 27 of 35 passes for 377 yards and three touchdowns for 116 points.
But he also threw two interceptions and helped Detroit win.
“Can’t pay 40M+ for this,” one fan tweeted.
A second fan posted: “Pardy played this last game.” “He threw a big spade near the end of the game. It’s a pattern.”
“Let’s get an elite QB, no messing around,” wrote a third fan.
Purdy has earned $2.8 million with 49 career catches.
He’s been a great deal so far, but he’ll have to be one of the best QBs in the NFL to average $50-60 million per year.
