The Bottom Line:Last May, the San Francisco 49ers locked in their franchise leader with a massive five-year, $265 million extension. As we approach the 2026 offseason, the "Faithful" are buzzing: How does this impact our ability to keep the core together? Will Paraag Marathe work his magic with a restructure?
The Brock Purdy Blueprint
Navigating the 2026 Offseason & the $265M Extension
2026 Purdy Contract Snapshot
- Cap Hit: $24.8 Million
- Cash Due: $47 Million (Includes $37.75M Option Bonus)
- Total Guarantees: $181 Million
- Current Team Cap Space: ~$37 Million
Will the 49ers Restructure Purdy in 2026?
Probably not—and that's a good thing. Because Purdy’s cap hit is only $24.8 million this year (ranking roughly 15th among QBs), the Niners aren't forced to kick the can down the road yet.
The real "checkpoint" is April 1, 2027. That is when his 2028 compensation ($55M+) becomes fully guaranteed. Expect the front office to hold onto their flexibility this year so they can be aggressive in bringing back key veterans.
