According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the Jacksonville Jaguars are expected to sign former San Francisco 49ers quarterback C.J. Beathard.
The Jaguars made it official shortly after Rapoport's report.
Beathard joins a quarterback room that is expected to add Trevor Lawrence in the draft. The Jaguars currently own the No. 1 overall pick. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler
recently speculated that the 49ers might be interested in current Jacksonville quarterback
Gardner Minshew via trade as a potential backup for Jimmy Garoppolo.
San Francisco made Beathard a third-round selection out of Iowa in 2017. He completed 66-of-104 attempts (63.5 percent) for 787 yards with six touchdowns and no interceptions through six games with the 49ers in 2020.
Beathard, 27, has completed 58.6 percent of his passes for 3,469 yards with 18 touchdowns and 13 interceptions through his four NFL seasons. He did not appear in a game during the 2019 season.
The 49ers currently have Garoppolo, Josh Johnson, and Josh Rosen as the only quarterbacks under contract.
All-Pro tight end
George Kittle said farewell to his friend and teammate of the past eight years. He and Beathard were together for four seasons each at Iowa and with the 49ers.
Wrote Kittle via Instagram: "Hard to wrap my head around us playing together for so long and we won't be anymore...but I had a blast the entire time and [I] know I have a brother for a lifetime. Much love and good luck!!"

Ctrl+Z: 4 key decisions 49ers might "undo" if given the chance
No one is perfect. Each of us makes mistakes. I do for sure. Peruse your way through the many articles I've written for 49ers Webzone and you'll see plenty of mistakes. Whether it's a typo or some prediction I offered that didn't go as I had thought.
The San Francisco 49ers are no different. John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan have made their share of mistakes. Fortunately for all of us, they hit on more than they miss. But I wonder if we were able to catch them in a moment of complete transparency if they might admit to wanting to hit the Ctrl+Z and "undo" some moves.
I doubt they will admit to such mistakes anytime soon, but fear not—I'm here to do it for them. Yes, I could write on the best decisions
