NFL Franchise QBs have NFL Franchise QB price tags. These guys are expensive to keep. The cap continues to grow and so will QB contracts. The QB contract market is essentially 5 tiers at this point. Franchise QB tier (55M+), retiring Franchise QB tier (40-50M), QBs that need to prove themselves (30-45M), journeymen (<20M), and rookie wage scale contracts.

this is a very good write up and i appreciate your time and information. i like this bottom breakdown especially of the tiers. i'll bold the tier i feel is what we have on our hands here.

this is just my opinion. i could be wrong.

Therefore, we would need to acquire talent via FA and that will become more difficult after paying Brock.

We would need Rams type drafts going forward. (They hit home runs on all their early draft picks) Many fans don't seem so confident in that happening. We believe 2024 was a good draft, but still was not at the level of Rams draft and the impact they've had.

Draft is always a crapshoot tbh, but if you can avoid having terrible ones you should be ok. Pats drafted insane for like 10 years, then the last 10 it simply wasn't nearly as good to bad and they fell off etc.

I say this past season was a reflection of the 20-23 drafts being fairly dismal and now it caught up to them. They need to replicate 24 and for sure need to hit on the higher picks more often. One could argue missing on the earlier picks has been the biggest weakness of the Kyle regime which is odd, because they are damn good just about everywhere else.

Can't miss in the first half of the draft and hoping to get lucky in later rounds, after paying Purdy. They will need to hit or at the very least get some very solid contributors.

I see guys like Baker, Danny Dimes, Geno, Carr, Foles, and Tyrod in that tier. Darnold has likely pushed himself into that tier. Purdy's resume has him firmly in the franchise QB tier for me.

Probably. 4 year 200 million vs 5 year 250 million with hopefully an out (if needed) after year 3 is likely the contract he should get.

the fear is he will demand 4 year 250 million vs 5 year 300 million range, and that's a bit rich for a guy that can't throw in inclement weather…

I don't think he's desperate, they'll settle somewhere in between.

They need money to extend Brendel and McKivitz!

f**k them they suck, we can replace them with draft picks. We need to lock up Dirty.

I know, I am just fanning the flames

i view nfl as not for long. things change fast. that is a pretty scattershot group you mention. i mean foles is out of football. baker just put up 4500 and 41TDs.

brock, this is a different convo if 2023 is the season to look back on. 2024 was a down season. there is a saying, if you are debating if your guy is a elite guy, then he isn't.

I was just looking at QBs that had contracts since 2016. It's a really small group of players. Teams will just draft a guy and roll with them or sign a journeyman to hold down the position until the rookie is ready.

I'm also not debating. Nothing I say or do will impact the 49ers decision. Every indication from the team thus far is that they are all-in on him as their franchise QB. He is getting paid.

Rams have done well on th d line and nailed Nacua in last two years. Their previous 4 years were mediocre to bad though. Outside of Kinchens however their secondary is bad as are their linebackers. O line is also hit or miss.

End of day having a top QB and a top pass rush can get you into the playoffs. Need the rest of the team to step up to win it.
The draft they had this year, and hits in previous years, are the very reason why they're in the playoffs this year, and why they'll be a problem for the foreseeable future. Without those key pieces on defense they are at home and Seahawks are in the playoffs.

i don't disagree he'll get paid. question is how much.

you kind of indicate there is no major market for brock with your bold, and i feel the same. if vegas would prefer their own rook, or some reclamation project, then we don't have to worry about a team like that bidding up for brock. so in going from 40m aav to 60m aav we simply bid against ourselves is my view.

I don't understand how you came to that conclusion. The only thing I've said regarding Brock is that he's in the franchise QB tier and that franchise QBs are expensive. Extending franchise quarterbacks has nothing to do with bidding. It's a price tag. You either pay it or you don't.

Why wouldn't he get the biggest deal in club history? He is the most important player on the team.

this would be the biggest deal. that is what i am saying. no need to mock it. what are we trying to do here? drive our price up to the moon? how about we all put our numbers down, and we can revisit when the time comes?

If you don't know why a 5 yr 205m contact is comical I don't know what to tell you.

Wouldn't be comical to me. I would love it if Brock signed that deal

i would as well, and that would be coming a long way for sir brock. he'd be one of the highest paid NFL players. i just draw a line at him asking for more AAV than Mahomes among others. if other teams want to be crackheads like whatever cleveland is doing that is their problem. let them be the suckers.

NFL Franchise QBs have NFL Franchise QB price tags. These guys are expensive to keep. Purdy is up now. Stroud next year. Daniels in 2027. Allen and Mahomes can redo their deals anytime they want (Allen maybe this year, Mahomes maybe in 2027). Lamar in 2026-27. The carousel of Franchise QB contracts continues to turn.

The QB contract market is essentially 5 tiers at this point. Franchise QB tier (55M+), retiring Franchise QB tier (40-50M), QBs that need to prove themselves (30-45M), journeymen (<20M), and rookie wage scale contracts.

Thanks for putting this together, good work! I think anyone looking at these numbers has to put Brock Purdy somewhere between "Franchise QB" and "Prove Themselves QB", which is to say a tAAV between 47-57m. Mahomes deal is old and, if he wanted to, he could have that re-negotiated in a heartbeat. And in a world where Trevor Lawrence makes 55m what is Mahomes worth? 70? 75? Baker Mayfield's deal came before the stellar numbers he put up this season so his contract is a distraction (and looking great for TB).

i just bolded him writing about teams 'will just draft a guy' or 'sign a journeyman'
i agree they would.

i don't think vegas is licking their chops at the thought of paying brock $60m aav and giving us draft picks.
Someone dirty delete all the bickering?

What? We've allowed plenty of above avg players go play out their contract without an extension.

Will we risk the future of our team if he doesnt like the numbers? Or cut or trade him because we "willl not allow" a guy to fulfill what he signed to?

We are discussing quarterbacks here, not random above average players.
