Even with the cap increasing, we're going to hit a wall somewhere. If he needs a solid supporting cast, which I believe he does, than we should pay him accordingly.
Purdy becoming the highest paid QB in the league may be inevitable since that's just how the league operates, though.
I'll be pulling for him on gameday regardless.
i'd pump breaks on him being highest paid for 2 reasons. 1 he ended up turning in a down year. that doesn't mean nothing. that means something and if the year is down, the deal should go down. 2, i don't know how much he could get on the open market. i don't know what team would just pony up $60m aav for this guy as QB1. i can't see any team doing that. i don't think teams would even want him as QB1. lot of QB1 jobs are filled, and those that aren't, teams want what they always want, those high end measurables. they would take a rook on a cost controlled deal over a guy with pick 262 traits at some absurd 60m aav. so we are probably the one team where brock is 'the man'.
I am sure it will be one those contracts that 90% of fans will see the headline of Brock Purdy signs 5 for 300M. Then 20 minutes later all the insides come out with 49ers can get out of this pretty cleanly after 3 years and 120M.
I would be fine with this. And this is what the contract should be - we should be able to escape for 3 and 120m if Brock continues to regress. If he regains his form from the first two years then he gets the full bag.
