The quarterback market has continued to inflate to astonishing levels, with eight different players at the position earning $50 million or more in average annual salary and 16 quarterbacks in total making at least $40 million per season.
Some of those names aren't exactly elite options, either, like Daniel Jones ($40 million in AAV), Kirk Cousins ($45 million), Deshaun Watson ($46 million), Kyler Murray ($46.1 million), Jared Goff ($53 million) and Trevor Lawrence ($55 million), among others.
So when San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy is eligible to receive an extension from the team next offseason he's going to get paid, and in a major way.
