The Super Bowl this season will take place between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers. Kansas City will be quarterbacked by Patrick Mahomes, whereas the Niners will start second-year QB Brock Purdy. Both these players have had tremendous seasons. However, they are on the opposite end of the QB payroll.
Mahomes is already one of the best quarterbacks in the history of the sport. He is also paid like that. Thanks to the record-breaking 10-year, $450 million contract that Mahomes received from the Kansas City Chiefs, the two-time Super Bowl champion now earns more money playing football than Tom Brady did.
It’s the ideal moment to examine the contract worth of Mahomes’ quarterback counterpart, Purdy, as the Chiefs are now scheduled to play the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas on Sunday, February 11. The difference in pay is astounding.
“Mr. Irrelevant” Purdy, who was selected with the last pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, is compensated accordingly. Purdy will only get $3.7 million over the course of four years, despite leading San Francisco to the NFC Championship game as a rookie and leading the 49ers, the top seed, to the Super Bowl this year. Mahomes is making $446 million more than Purdy.
Purdy will get the opportunity to show Mahomes how valuable he is both physically and financially in Las Vegas. In Super Bowl LVIII, the better quarterback will prevail, and it might not even come down to money.
