The honeymoon phase is over for the San Francisco 49ers and quarterback Brock Purdy.
Purdy agreed to a contract extension that makes him one of the richest players in NFL history. He reportedly landed a five-year, $265 million deal with the team on Friday afternoon, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. It's a monumental pay raise over the rookie salary he made his first three years in the league as a seventh-round draft pick, which paid him an average of $934,000.
The 49ers now have their QB secured for the long haul, but they also will no longer enjoy the benefits of his extremely discounted contract.
