Better get him support that doesn't have butter fingers.

Hey, you know what, good for him!

As a reminder over his first 3 seasons he was locked into a contract that paid $2.6 million over all three years.

An average QB in the NFL gets $18, with most in the higher performing teams getting above $30 million.

I think some of this contact is back-pay.

Agreed, it was also shitty if the 49ers leaking to the media ahead of contract talks to make him look greedy.

As long as York is in charge, they ain’t winning a SB

Mistake. How much is guaranteed? I ain't paying for this info.

Overpaid a decent QB. Niners should have a Dak / Dallas like future.

That’s a lot of money. I hope he’s as good as Drew Brees, the QB that he most resembles.

Kenny Pickett was the only QB taken in the 1st round in 2022. He’s never cracked the starting lineup and is on his 3rd team so far. But he was on the Super Bowl winning team last season!

Michael Irvin put it best when talking about winning a title: guys like me are the reason

Kenny's at least got an expensive ring.

He got fame. He got millions. He got a ‘ship ring. He didn’t get injured— and he can continue a benchwarmer career for another decade if he’s careful— I’d call that success! 😃😃😃

It's better than any success I've ever had.
