Prove it deal at 3 for 150. He gets huge money and 49ers get to see if he can stay healthy enough for a long-term mega deal.
Lol right....prove it deal is 3 for 90 and that's market fair
You guys really need to look up what the other QB's are making. You sound ridiculous.
Have you looked at how much other QB's are making?
30 million puts him in Baker Mayfield category...40 in Josh Allen. Is he really better than Josh Allen or Baker Mayfield right now?
Baker is at $33m and Allen is at $43m. Allen signed his deal three years ago. Meaning, in three years, whatever Purdy signs for will be cheap compared to whoever is signing at that time. So that deal proves my point about signing Purdy long term.
Next QB below Baker is Geno Smith at $25m. Each of them got their contracts after only one good season preceded by very mediocre QB play. They have "prove it" deals. If you want a QB on a prove it deal for $30m per for 3 seasons, that's going to be someone like Sam Darnold.
Purdy on the other hand has been great since his first snap and has done it for multiple seasons. Asking him to sign a prove it deal when he's already taken the team to two NFCCG's and a Super Bowl while getting paid under $1M/year is a joke.
He also lost that Superbowl. He also got his opportunity here after being an afterthought in the draft by the entire NFL. He's got an average arm that turns into a pea shooter whenever he's injured and lately that's been quite often and he's already gone through one major surgery to his throwing arm. He's also pretty average this year statistically and record wise and has shown that he doesn't overcome and excel when he isn't literally surrounded by all pro's on offense. He doesn't have the best leverage going into this offseason unless he completely turns his game around. He's not going to make more than 35-40 a year and it'll probably be a short term deal so he can prove he can stay on the field long term.
