The San Francisco 49ers quarterback earned $857,842.50 in performance-based pay, the NFL announced on Wednesday. Purdy, the final draft pick in 2022, earned the amount in the league's annual payout for players who saw significant action -- and some who saw little activity -- on the field.

49ers quarterback Brock Purdy earned the paltry (by NFL starter standards) sum of $985,000 in 2024. He has nearly doubled his money, thanks to the NFL’s performance-based pay system. Purdy will get a check for another $857,842, thanks to a program that rewards low-compensation players who put in a high-percentage of playing time.
