While we wait for the full details of the new Brock Purdy contract, another favorable detail has been leaked.
Via NFL Media, Purdy’s six-year contract comes with a no-trade clause.
The no-trade device is becoming a more and more common aspect of high-end quarterback deals. And while news of a no-trade typically provokes oohs and ahhs, there’s an inescapable reality when it comes to players with starting-quarterback contracts.
A no-trade clause isn’t really necessary, because no one is going to trade for a starting quarterback who doesn’t want to go to that team.
The starting quarterback is the most unique of all football players.
