Brock Purdy, the San Francisco 49ers quarterback, earned $857,842.50 in performance-based pay due to his significant playing time. The NFL's annual payout is aimed at fairly compensating players who may have lower base salaries yet contribute extensively on the field. Purdy's full contract and performance pushed his earnings close to $2 million. As he prepares for a potential contract extension, these performance rewards underscore the dynamics of player salaries and bonuses in the NFL.
Purdy's full season salary of $1.24 million, combined with his total playtime of 81.3% for all potential snaps, netted him a bonus that nearly exceeded his base salary.
The NFL uses a formula that accounts for a player's total snaps and base salary to distribute performance-based pay, helping low-salary players earn extra income.
