When it comes to the highest-paid San Francisco 49ers players, one might assume quarterback Brock Purdy would sit atop the list, given the five-year, $265 million contract he signed back on May 16.
What's important to remember, however, that his deal was an extension, one that will keep him in San Francisco through the 2030 season.
As such, Purdy is not among the top five on the list of the highest-paid Niners for the 2025 season, at least not in terms of a salary cap hit, which, just to be clear, is the figure we'll be using for each player to construct this list.
