The 49ers posted photos on social media Tuesday after Purdy signed the deal. Terms were not disclosed but ESPN's Adam Schefter first reported that the deal is worth $265 million and includes $181 million in guaranteed money. At about $53 million per year, the contract puts him among the highest-paid quarterbacks in the NFL on a per-year basis.

Purdy's four-year, $3.74 million rookie deal had one year remaining heading into the 2025 season. After being picked by the 49ers with the last pick in the 2022 NFL Draft out of Arizona State, the onetime "Mr. Irrelevant" led the franchise to the NFC Championship Game in his rookie season and Super Bowl 58 the year after. His resume also includes four playoff wins and a Pro Bowl selection.

After taking over as starting quarterback in Week 14 of the 2022 season, Purdy won each of his first 10 starts, tied for the second-most wins by a quarterback to begin a career in NFL history. Purdy holds the league 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, 130.0, 140.0 or higher in a player's first three seasons.
In the 2023 season, Purdy set the single-season franchise records for passing yards (4,280) and passer rating (113.0) which led all NFL quarterbacks that season.

Travis Hunter's Madden Rating Raises Rare Questions
Travis Hunter's Madden Rating Raises Rare Questions originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Two years ago, a Reddit poster on r/Madden asked, 'Why do people care about Madden ratings?' Another replied: 'Some people like seeing what EA thinks of their favorite player.' Advertisement Jacksonville Jaguars rookie wide receiver and cornerback Travis Hunter will debut in Madden 26 with an overall rating of 76 — out of a possible 99. Considering that Hunter won the 2024 NCAA Heisman Trophy and was selected second overall in the 2025 NFL draft, is 76 too low? Too high? Or just right? Travis Hunter at Jaguars practice.© Corey Perrine/Florida Times-Union / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Hunter himself didn't react much to it when asked about his 76 after the second day of Jaguars' minicamp on Wednesday. The highest possible overall rating in the iconic video game is 99. In Madden 25, players like Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry, Justin Jefferson, Travis Kelce, and Trent Williams all earned that score. Advertisement On one hand, Hunter's a rookie. On the other hand, he's featured in Madden 26 marketing videos, used to generate excitement for fans to play him in the game. He was ultimately rated a 99 in EA Sports' College Football 25. Of course, the NCAA is not the NFL. So … 76. Are we good? Not many fans have weighed in yet, as Madden 26 doesn't launch until August 14. In a June 5 article, Hunter rated himself at least an 85. Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson, a former NFL receiver and one of EA Sports' live ratings adjusters, was more like nah. 'The best I could do for you as a rookie coming into the league … I give you a 76,' Johnson told the Jaguars' top draft pick. Advertisement Hunter enters his first NFL season with the Jaguars as the league's first legitimate two-way star since Deion Sanders in the early-to-mid 1990s. Sanders happened to be Hunter's head coach and mentor in college, at Jackson State and then at Colorado. The Jacksonville coaching staff is more concerned with how the flesh-and-blood Travis Hunter plays, and so far, are giving him high ratings for his play on both sides of the ball. 'It takes a really sharp person to be able to do that,' Jags defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile said. 'He's blessed with a lot of intelligence and maturity. It's impressive to watch.' 'I've been doing it my whole life,' Hunter said after Wednesday's minicamp, in which he only played offense. In 11-on-11 drills, Hunter caught a touchdown pass against cornerback Tyson Campbell. Advertisement In his senior year at Colorado, Hunter caught 96 passes for 1258 yards and 15 touchdowns. He also rushed for a touchdown. On defense, he intercepted four passes, broke up 11 more, and made 26 tackles, 25 of them solo. '(Hunter) is a fun guy to coach, to be around,' Campanile added. 'His position coaches love coaching him.'

Upcoming Rams mini-camp hopes to give Hawaii tourism much-needed summer boost
HONOLULU (KHON2) — Many are excited and ready for the NFL's Los Angeles Rams to host their summer mini-camp in Wailuku next week. Officials hope this showcases how these partnerships can give a much-needed boost to our tourism industry. The Yaroshuk family hasn't been to Hawaii in 18 years. So they're soaking up every minute they can. The Los Angeles Rams are heading to Maui next summer 'Just a nice getaway,' said Lina Yaroshuk, a visitor from Toronto. 'Just 10 days away from the usual you know, people wanna go somewhere on holidays where they can just relax, do some hiking, you know visit some areas you haven't seen in a while.' They're not the only ones returning to the islands this summer. The Los Angeles Rams are ready for their Maui mini-camp next week. 'Let's not kid ourselves, we're not getting anything football wise done, but it'll be a cool trip to be able to connect, so we'll enjoy it and look forward to it next week,' said Sean Mcvay, Los Angeles Rams head coach.'Every time we have something big come to the state, whether it's a training camp for a football or a concert, revenue generally rises because many people from around the country fly over,' said Rep. Adrian Tam, House Tourism Committee chair. The timing couldn't be better. Even though the state says visitors numbers are up so far this year compared to last year, they're expecting a modest slowdown during summer. According to a statement from Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism Director James Tokioka, caused by political and economic uncertainties both nationally and internationally. 'I don't understand, Just have a look around, everybody could enjoy yourself for sure,' Yaroshuk said. Download the free KHON2 app for iOS or Android to stay informed on the latest news Officials say if we want our tourism industry to not only survive, but thrive, we need to offer more. 'Beaches and our natural environment is a huge factor, 100-percent, it's our branding,' Tam said. 'But we have to give them more than just our beaches and our natural environment. We have to think outside the box and we have to look into concerts, sporting events, and conferences.' So people like the Yaroshuks won't wait another 18 years to come back. 'You know what I've got a few more days, I'm looking forward to renting a car and going further up north, just exploring more of what the island has to offer,' Yaroshuk said. 'But so far, no disappointments, I'll be back.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
