Brock Purdy is out here redefining holiday generosity — forget socks and gift cards, he’s gifting Toyotas to his entire offensive line! The San Francisco 49ers QB took “spreading holiday cheer” to a whole new level, handing over brand-new cars to the unsung heroes up front.
While some are still catching their breath over the generosity, others are left wondering just how much of his contract went into this epic gift-giving spree.
Fans React to Brock Purdy’s Generosity and Toyota Gifts to Offensive Line
For Christmas, Purdy decided to gift each of his offensive linemen a brand-new Toyota. Purdy spent a cool $650,000 — nearly his entire $900,000 salary this year. That’s some serious holiday spirit.
Fans immediately jumped into the conversation.
Some were in awe, while others couldn’t help but joke, “Bro, giving away his whole contract value.” (Talk about dedication to the squad.)

But not everyone was feeling the love.
One fan pointed out that Purdy’s ties to Toyota could mean he didn’t pay a cent out of his own pocket, adding, “Definitely a sponsor lmaooo you know he didn’t pay a cent.”

On the flip side, some fans just weren’t vibing with the whole lineman gift thing. One user argued, “Sorry, but the lineman gift thing has gotten pretty cringe,” suggesting that it’s becoming a bit too much of a trend for QBs to lavish their linemen with expensive gifts.

Then, there’s the comparison to Mahomes, who’s been gifting cowboy boots.
One fan pointed out the stark difference, saying, “Wait, so Mahomes is buying cowboy boots, and Purdy’s out here buying cars. Something seriously wrong here.”
Whether fans love it or find it cringeworthy, one thing’s for sure: Purdy is setting the bar high for quarterback generosity. The real question — how will other QBs top this next holiday season?
Details on Brock Purdy’s Contract and Salary
While being Mr. Irrelevant typically comes with a lot of exposure and some marketing opportunities, the downside of being the final pick in the NFL Draft is that you’re paid significantly less than every other starting QB in the NFL.
Purdy is still on his rookie contract, which is a four-year deal worth $3.7 million. A $77,000 bonus was paid at signing, and only $77,008 was guaranteed at signing. Purdy is earning significantly less than his NFL peers despite playing at an extremely high level.
In comparison, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott signed a record-breaking $240 million deal featuring $231 million guaranteed. Jacksonville Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence ($275 million) and Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson ($230 million) are earning way more than Purdy, even though the 49ers QB has reached a conference title game and Super Bowl unlike the other three.
