The 49ers will let the market tell them what to pay Brock, according to York:<\/p>\n
\n\u201cIt\u2019s not hard. I mean, it\u2019s what the market is. It\u2019s not like Brock is going to ask for something that no one has ever asked for before. You have, I don\u2019t know how many players making over $40 million as a quarterback right now. And when we signed Jimmy [Garoppolo] several years ago, it was the largest deal in the history of the NFL for three minutes. But we were paying Jimmy 26 or 27, and you see the market has just changed. And whether I like it or not, that\u2019s what the market is, and you have to accept the reality of the world. And to me, the quarterback is the most important position, not just in football, but in all sports, and those guys should be paid a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Discussing Purdy\u2019s potential contract today is pointless. Dak Prescott, Trevor Lawrence, Jordan Love, and Goff are all set to become free agents in 2025. The 49ers could get out ahead of those deals and pay Purdy, but as York said, Brock doesn\u2019t strike you as the type of player who will ask to be the highest-paid player at his position.<\/p>\n
This next season will be fascinating. The 49ers are expected to win the majority of their games, as they have every year under Kyle Shanahan. How much credit will Purdy get for the Niners\u2019 success? And how close will his guaranteed numbers look to those of first-rounders like Lawrence and Love? That\u2019s what I\u2019m interested in seeing once Purdy has a new deal.<\/p>\n
As Shanahan said below, the pressure is always on the QB:<\/p>\n
