San Francisco 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens has signed his exclusive-rights free agent tender, according to Field Yates of ESPN.
49ers QB Nick Mullens has signed his ERFA tender. A formality more than anything, but the good developmental QB is officially back under contract with San Francisco.
"The 49ers got a bunch of phone calls — when I say a bunch, a couple of teams — on Nick Mullens, the backup quarterback in San Francisco," Lombardi said. "Nick Mullens. They were asking about him, and they turned down every trade offer for Nick Mullens. They wouldn't trade him."
Mullens started eight games for the 49ers in 2018, replacing C.J. Beathard following starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo's season-ending ACL injury. Mullens completed 64.2 percent of his passes for 2,277 yards with 13 touchdowns and 10 interceptions in those starts.
The 49ers signed Mullens as an undrafted free agent out of Southern Miss in 2017. He did not play a snap during the 2019 season but was Garoppolo's primary backup all year.
