Brock Purdy has signed his five-year extension with the San Francisco 49ers, quickly turning one of the NFL's best bargains into one of the league's highest-paid quarterbacks. The sides agreed on the five-year extension worth $265 million last week.

For all the paydays and raises and generational money this deal provides, it, in many ways, also represents a compromise — one that NFL quarterback negotiations of late seem rarely to strike.
