He's on a super discount rookie dealit is likely that purdy is on a very short term contract because he was drafted so late. If he plays well next yr the Niners will have to pay him. Its that simple really. Not sure why your note would apply to Hurts but not Purdy lol

Purdy style of play doesn't really lead to injuries so even if you give him 40 million, it's not hard to maintain the system. Whereas if you give Hurts 40 million, it's takes from other places and it's not easy to just replace as he needs real ballers around him.
