San Francisco 49ers CEO Jed York knows the value he has in quarterback Brock Purdy and on Tuesday he vowed when the time comes, the organization is prepared to pay up.
Brock Purdy has allowed the San Francisco 49ers to do some pretty amazing stuff both on the field and with their roster. But 'Mr. Irrelevant' will soon get his payday, and 49ers CEO Jed York has no problem with that. 'It's a good problem when your quarterback is one of the highest-paid guys on your team and in the league,' York told reporters Tuesday at the NFL owners meetings, via The Mercury News.

York used the Niners five-year, $137.5 million contract with Jimmy Garoppolo in 2018, which made him the highest-paid player in the league at the time, as an example of their willingness to ensure the quarterback situation is secured. 'To me, the quarterback is the most important position not just in football, but all of sports, and those guys should be paid a lot of money.'
