From the article

The San Francisco 49ers just signed Brock Purdy to a five-year, $265 million contract in the spring of 2025... Purdy is 26 with plenty of valuable traits that make him a franchise quarterback. He's aggressive, a playmaker, stays out of negative plays by avoiding sacks, and is accurate.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Purdy's $265M deal and prove-it year hinge on supporting cast health.

Purdy signed a five-year, $265 million contract with the 49ers in spring 2025, with over $177 million guaranteed. At 26 years old, he possesses franchise QB traits: aggressive play-making, sack avoidance, and accuracy despite being undersized at 6'1", 220 pounds. The source argues this is a prove-it year after the team suffered injuries to key pieces in the previous two seasons, but notes that if Purdy is the quarterback the 49ers believed him to be when they gave him the massive deal, they'll give him more than two seasons to prove himself—especially after an injury-riddled 2025.
