It's easy for us to forget that NFL executives are in the elite tier of financial professionals (because, like most elite financial professionals, they're prone to comically disastrous mistakes and groupthink). But if there's one thing the fake-sharp exec suite class is good at, it's copying successful things that the real innovators start. I'd hope that 15 years is enough for guys whose tie clip collections are worth more than my car to figure out the market efficiencies related to the most important part of their job.

What is going to be really fascinating to watch is how this contract changes how the 49ers build the roster. Wll they be big spenders on offensive weapons in free agency to build Purdy up, because they didn’t break the bank to keep him? Or will it be laser focused on drafting and development. They bought themselves flexibility by not breaking the bank on that second QB deal.
