The San Francisco 49ers have officially announced a five-year contract extension with quarterback Brock Purdy, following initial reports last week. The team also noted in its press release that a press conference with Purdy is scheduled for Wednesday at 1:30 p.m.

The 49ers Communications staff provided the following.



The San Francisco 49ers today announced they have signed QB Brock Purdy to a five-year contract extension through the 2030 season.

"Brock is a tremendous leader and a fantastic representative for the 49ers organization, and we are ecstatic to get this deal done," said President of Football Operations and General Manager John Lynch. "When we took him with the last pick in the Draft, we knew he had potential to succeed in this league, but we had no idea how special of a player he would become. He has played at an exceptionally high level since taking over the starting job, and we look forward to seeing him continue to lead this team for years to come."

Purdy (6-1, 220) was originally drafted by the 49ers in the seventh round (262nd overall) of the 2022 NFL Draft. Throughout his three-year career (2022-24), he has appeared in 40 games (36 starts), completing 722 of 1,069 passing attempts (67.5 percent) for 9,518 yards, 64 touchdowns and a passer rating of 104.9 through the air to go along with 127 carries for 480 yards (3.8 average) and eight touchdowns on the ground. He has also started in six postseason contests, completing 107 of his 171 passing attempts (62.6 pct.) for 1,343 yards, six touchdowns and a passer rating of 96.2, as well as 21 carries for 98 yards (4.7 avg.) and one touchdown.

In 2024, Purdy completed 300 of his 455 passing attempts (65.9 pct.) for 3,864 yards, 20 touchdowns and a passer rating of 96.1 to go along with career highs in rushing attempts (66), rushing yards (323) and rushing touchdowns (five). His five rushing touchdowns marked the most by a 49ers quarterback since the 2012 season (QB Colin Kaepernick – five).

After taking over as the starting quarterback in Week 14 of the 2022 season, Purdy won each of his first 10 starts, which is tied for the second-most wins by a quarterback to begin a career in NFL history (QB Ben Roethlisberger, Pit. – 15; QB Mike Livingston, KC – 10; QB Mike Tomczak, Chi. – 10). Through his first 25 career starts, Purdy completed 477 of his 690 passing attempts (69.1 pct.) for 6,508 yards and 47 touchdowns with a passer rating of 112.6. His 69.1 completion percentage, 47 touchdowns and 112.6 passer rating rank first in 49ers franchise history among quarterbacks whose first 25 career starts were with the team. His 112.6 passer rating in those starts is the highest by any NFL quarterback in their first 25 career starts since at least 1970.


In his first full season as a starter (2023), Purdy earned the first Pro Bowl selection of his career after setting the single-season franchise records for passing yards (4,280) and passer rating (113.0), leading San Francisco to an NFC Championship victory and an appearance in Super Bowl LVIII. His 113.0 passer rating led all NFL quarterbacks that season. He also posted the third-highest single-season completion percentage in franchise history by completing 308 of his 444 passing attempts (69.4 pct.). Purdy holds the NFL record for the most games with two-or-more passing touchdowns and a passer rating of 115.0-or-higher (15) in a player's first three seasons. He also holds NFL records for the most games with a passer rating of 120.0-or-higher (13), 130.0-or-higher (10) and 140.0-or-higher (six) in a player's first three seasons.

A 25-year-old native of Gilbert, AZ, Purdy attended Iowa State University for four seasons (2018-21) where he appeared in 48 games (46 starts) and completed 993 of 1,467 passing attempts (67.6 pct.) for 12,170 yards and 81 touchdowns through the air to go along with 365 carries for 1,117 yards (3.3 avg.) and 19 touchdowns on the ground. As a freshman in 2018, he earned Big 12 Freshman of the Year honors and was named Associated Press First-Team All-Big 12 as a senior in 2021.
