So, the NFL has a salary compensation fund and Purdy benefited.

"For Purdy, that resulted in an additional paycheck of $739,795, which comes out to 75.1% of the $985,000 base salary he made in 2023. The additional check ranks as the 24th largest payout this year."

24th largest payout??? Are you kidding me? Please name another player who performed as far above their compensation as Purdy!

Here is a list of the top 25 players that benefited from this pool of money, if you read the comments at the bottom, people do a decent job explaining who is eligible and how they figure the amount of money they received. It's for players drafted rounds 2-7, below the league standard in pay for a player at his position, and then they figure in the amount of his plays that he played in. It's a way for a player that was not expected to get a lot of playing time but is to get some extra money.

Where do you think Blum would come up with that?

Really?

Because what about his time at ISU (and his personality) suggests that A. Someone would have paid him huge bucks to go elsewhere, and B. He would have gone anywhere else?


To help you follow along, with NIL Purdy would have been able to earn money through advertising. Can you imagine how much money he could have made during his time at Iowa State? Going into his senior year coming off a Fiesta Bowl win?

How did he not get the largest payout?
Yeah, I wonder how Purdy wouldn’t be #1 with SB & awards. BUT my 8 player Southwest Iowa dude is #3 and that bumped him to $1.8M for 2023! He was a skinny TE when he went to UNI & has worked himself to an every down starter in the NFL in his 2nd year. He’s earned every cent. If you watch Buffalo play, he is down field every time looking for LB’s & DB’s.

I think Purdy made close to 200k for the Superbowl playoff run as well. Toss is jersey sales and Brock is doing just fine. Not as good as next year at this time but he is getting by.
