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.
The program compensates low-paid players who contribute a high percentage of playing time, promoting fairness across the league.
The performance-based pay system is a league-wide program and does not affect a team’s salary cap.
Purdy ranked 16th on the 2024 performance-based pay list, with Jets linebacker Jamien Sherwood leading at $1.092 million
The system aims to reward players who contribute significantly but are underpaid compared to their peers.
Purdy is expected to receive a far larger financial reward if he agrees to a long-term contract extension with the 49ers.
The 49ers are likely to present Purdy with a lucrative long-term deal, reflecting his value and performance.
