It's a funny prediction considering after the 49ers 2-3 start, he was predicting a 55.5M market value AAV for Purdy. Last offseason, he believed the 49ers would simply move on from Purdy if he struggled in 2024.
Cap hits. He didnt mention them in that projection (the title anyways,...didnt click). But yea what cap hits are guaranteed is the news to really wait for.
Originally posted by KiwiM:If Purdy is signed to an extension this offseason, the contract begins to impact the 49ers immediately. The 49ers extension will include a signing bonus and minimum salary in 2025. Purdy currently has a cap hit around 5.2M for 2025, earned as part of the Proven Performance Escalator program. He maxxed out at Level 3 for his original ballot Pro Bowl selection in 2023. If the signing bonus proration on that extension is above a 4.1M year, his cap hit in 2025 will increase. When people talk about signing Purdy to extension of "300M over 5 years", the new contract will essentially be 305.2M over 6 years because it's an extension of his prior contract. When Dak signed his 240M over 4 year extension, the 29M in cash on his final year didn't just disappear. His actual contract ended up being 269M/4. When The Prince signed his 275M over 5 year extension, he had his 4th year remaining and the team had already picked up the option on his 5th year. So the 31.341M in remaining salary carried over to his new contract. His new contract ended up being 306.341M over 7 years (2024-31). When Lamar signed his contract, his prior contract had no money and no years remaining and Lamar was subject to the non-exclusive franchise tag. His total contract value was 260M over 5 years.

Dirty Purdy is my quarterback, but looks like we might have to wait a year to extend him.
The extension can be signed this offseason but the money doesn't kick in until after this season
Originally posted by 9erson3:Mahomes signed his contract in 2020. His 45M extension AAV (eAAV) launched him over Rodgers (33.5M eAAV), Russ (35M eAAV), Big Ben (34M eAAV), Wentz (32M eAAV), Goff (33.5M eAAV), and Kirk (33M eAAV). After his deal, it would take nearly 2 years for someone to pass that AAV. The contracts leading up to that were Watson (Hou - 39M eAAV), Dak (40M AAV), the other Josh Allen (43M eAAV), then Rodgers (50.3M eAAV). Since the start of the 2023 offseason, there has been a proliferation of 50M eAAV contracts.
100% and he shouldn't get paid like a Mahomes. People get bent to even suggest $40k a year like some big disservice. $40m a year people. Do you know how much money that is.
He is not a $60m a year man until contract 3 and after a clear landscape.
And it's not like the Chiefs haven't done right by Mahomes either. In 2023, they restructured the remainder of his contract, moving money from the end of the contract to pay out over the 2023-26 seasons. Mahomes had the highest 4 year cash flow of any quarterback at that point (208M) until Dak signed his deal (214M from 2024-27). In 2027, Mahomes will be on a new contract. Similarly, the other Josh Allen has yearly cash payouts of 14.5M, 38.5M, 40M, and 36.5M remaining on his current deal. Buffalo is either going to move money up like KC did with Mahomes or they will extend him (cap hits of 43.2M, 63.9M, 57M, and 48M remaining).
When the market rate is 60M, you just can't handwave "$40m a year people". You are asking someone to take 1/3rd less their value. Nobody is going to willingly take 40k a year when they could be making 60k. People want to be paid what their worth is, and they usually want to be paid more than that.
Their worth is what someone will pay. Just because other starters got 50-60m does not necessarily mean another team would pay Brock specifically that amount.
And if we don't want to pay him 55m per year, I'd be curious to see if another team would. We could give him the Aiyuk treatment and say hey you think you're worth that much see what another team will give you that and we are satisfied with the compensation then we'll trade you or agree to sign you for a deal in that range like we did with Aiyuk.
Would a QB-starved team like TEN or OAK or NYG actually give Brock 5 years/275-300m? I'm skeptical.
That being said, with this weak QB class in the draft, the alternatives to Brock are not good. So he better perform like 2022 and 2023 and not like last year going forward.
