Quarterback Josh Rosen was on three NFL different NFL teams before signing with the San Francisco 49ers on December 22, 2020. It sounds like he won't add a fifth to his resume just yet. NFL Network insider Mike Garafolo reports that the Niners have decided to bring back Rosen and will officially tender an offer to him soon. The quarterback was scheduled to become an exclusive-rights free agent.
Another QB note to add here: The #49ers are bringing back QB Josh Rosen, source says. Rosen, who spent most of this season on the #Buccaneers' practice squad, was an exclusive rights free agent, so it was up to the team to tender him an offer. They'll officially do that soon.
