The 49ers used the final pick of the 2022 NFL Draft to bring in Purdy, a four-year starter at Iowa State. He's gone 23-13 as a starter at the NFL level and led the 49ers to two NFC Championship Games and one Super Bowl, where they lost to the Kansas City Chiefs.

San Francisco once secured him with a three-year, $71.5 million deal on the eve of July 2022 training camp. The 49ers shut down the trade chatter then by offering Samuel a massive amount of cash. That blockbuster contract additionally came as a reward for Samuel's explosive '21 season.
