"Mr. Insignificant" becomes one of the richest NFL players
This week, the headlines of the NFL were dominated by Brock Purdy, who wore the No. 13 nfl jersey of the San Francisco 49ers. The quarterback chose to renew his contract and signed a five-year, $265 million contract, which is about to become one of the richest players in NFL history.
Brock Purdy only received a total of $2.6 million in salary in the first three years of his career, which was far from matching his contribution on the field. But his three years of stable output paid off. Starting next year, his annual salary will be $53 million and his weekly salary will be $2.9 million, which is higher than his total salary in the past three years.
In 2022, Brock Purdy was selected with the last pick in the draft and people called him "Mr. Insignificant". But then he reaped a lot in the San Francisco 49ers jerseys, winning two consecutive NFC championships and reaching the Super Bowl at the end of the 2023 season. As the 49ers undergo a roster overhaul following a tumultuous offseason, Brock Purdy is expected to lead the way.
