How much are you willing to pay Brock Purdy before letting him go?

I think most 49er fans would like to see Brock Purdy as their future QB. However, the question is how much should the 49ers pay to keep him? The 49ers may decide they don't want to pay him more than 50 million, but Brock Purdy can always decide to reject the contract. So, if you were the GM, at what point would you decide that it is better to trade him than signing him to a contract?

This really should go into the Purdy thread but I'll let it stand so people can vote in the poll. I'd prefer to keep the discussions to the Purdy thread though. We don't need the same conversation in two spots.

Where's the "I don't care, it's not my money" option?

Any deal, whether $20m a year or $75m a year, is gonna have easy outs after a couple years to protect the team. Additionally, if he's amazing, there will be easy options to restructure/extend his deal.

The hand wringing over this has been insufferable.

Market value. Which is probably between 55 and 60 million.

That we have waited so long to have a Quarterback of his caliber to even continue to harangue on about it is insanity. Sign that young man. Let's get to work.

Thank you. I expect you to merge it in the end, but I did want to see the poll results first.

you end up with your results, then what?

He's under contract. They don't have to let him go and they don't have to pay him either. They are just choosing to pay him. It should be a very careful contract. With an out for the team. Maybe less guaranteed. 49ers always get burned on big contracts.

Always get burned? lame

Dee_VAH Samuel (injured - wants out), Aiyuk (over paid - injured), Hargrave (injured - bad scheme fit), TW (injuries- declining), Lance (bust).

don't forget the BEST FB in The NFL... he's overpaid because he is sooooo underused..

B-Rock Steady Purdy isn't being looked at as a franchise QB because of where he was drafted, not a bad weather player, isn't the prototype of a QB, and last but not the least, we have a HC who maybe doubting if B-Rock is really good or is it HIS system?

I have a feeling that KS10 believes 70-30 his system that makes Purdy so his value should no more than be $10M a year.

The Brick after Brick Brothers does not want another Grappy up in Camelot.

Juice is over paid too. Most teams don't even use a FB anymore. He's getting older too.

A Baker Mayfield deal makes sense. 2 years at $30 M per year. A prove it deal. With an out for the team. If he proves it you can pay him more after that. A Dak Prescott deal after that. No question we were much worse with the injuries. Not all on Brock. But still you have to be cautious here. I like Brock. Just saying be careful with an out.

I like your 30M, but if I was running the show, B-Rock deserves 20 to 25 max per year..

I think the length matters. The longer the contract the higher i am willing to go. Not that my opinion matters.
But i would like to see a 7+yr extension $200m signing bonus plus the first 2 years fully guaranteed. A year 4 roster bonus that can be a solid out year.

I agree with your thought that term may be an issue. In terms of market value I think that is very clear, here are the comparables:

Murray $46m
Hurts $51m
Jackson $52m
Herbert $52.5m
Goff $53m
Tua $53.1m
Love $55m
Prescott $60m

Based on those comparables, Brock Purdy is going to land somewhere between 48-60m annually, with Goff's deal being the one that I'm focused on as the direct comparable. Other big questions then would relate to term, guarantee money, the structure of the deal, and team willingness to spend.
