San Francisco, CA In a bold move that has sent shockwaves through the NFL world, the San Francisco 49ers have announced a significant pay increase for star quarterback Brock Purdy. Head coach Kyle Shanahan and defensive coordinator Robert Saleh jointly revealed that Purdy’s annual salary will rise from $60 million to an astonishing $100 million, citing his unmatched work ethic, leadership qualities, and impact both on and off the field.
Brock is not just our quarterback he’s the heartbeat of this team,” Shanahan said during a press conference. “His drive, commitment, and ability to lead in high-pressure moments have transformed the 49ers into a championship-caliber organization. We felt this move reflects not only his value but also the standard he sets for everyone around him.”
Purdy, who entered the league as Mr. Irrelevant the last pick of the 2022 NFL Draft has defied expectations and emerged as one of the most reliable and dynamic quarterbacks in the league. His rapid ascent, humble attitude, and on-field dominance have captured the hearts of fans and earned the respect of his teammates and coaches alike.
Defensive coordinator Robert Saleh echoed Shanahan’s praise, calling Purdy a winner in every sense.
He’s the kind of player who elevates everyone else. It’s not just about stats or wins it’s the way he carries himself, his focus in practice, and how he takes accountability. That kind of leadership is rare, Saleh said.
The 49ers organization has emphasized that this decision goes beyond just football performance. Team executives and coaches highlighted Purdy’s dedication to community outreach, mentorship of younger players, and consistent off-season work as key factors in the historic salary bump.
Purdy, speaking with humility and gratitude, said he was honored by the recognition.
I play this game because I love it, and I want to win not just for myself, but for this team and this city, Purdy said. To be supported like this by Coach Shanahan, Coach Saleh, and the whole organization means the world to me. I’m just getting started.”
With this groundbreaking salary, Brock Purdy joins the ranks of the NFL’s highest-paid players, but perhaps more importantly, he solidifies his role as the face of the 49ers’ future. As the team sets its sights on another deep playoff run, one thing is clear — the 49ers are all in on Purdy.
And according to Shanahan and Saleh, that’s a bet worth making.
