Brock Purdy negotiated a no-trade clause in his five-year, $265 million contract extension with the San Francisco 49ers. No-trade clauses have become common with many top quarterbacks such as Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow and others.
Quarterbacks in this stratosphere, however, would almost certainly have implicit no-trade clauses anyways as any team acquiring them would need to have an understanding that it would be a welcomed transaction.
“I think it’s important, yes, but also that’s something that my agent and I had discussed with what other quarterbacks have around the league and stuff in their contract,” Purdy said. “But, for me, was it going to be a determining factor in signing it or not? No. We were very grateful that we had it in there, but at the end of the day, like I said, everything else that the contract entails we’re extremely excited about, so we’re just grateful how it turned out.”
