49ers insider shocked by details of QB Nate Sudfeld’s one-year deal

Details emerged on the one-year deal former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nate Sudfeld signed with the San Francisco 49ers. Salary cap site OverTheCap.com
provided the breakdown.
Sudfeld will earn a base salary of $990,000 this year, of which $252,000 is guaranteed, and the quarterback will carry a cap hit of $850,000. ESPN's Field Yates reports that there is $137,500 worth of incentives available.
One of those details from the contract was a bit of a surprise to a 49ers insider — Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area. That would be the guaranteed money. It's a significant amount for a player who many assumed might merely be an additional arm for the team's offseason program.
Sudfeld became the fourth quarterback under contract for the 49ers. The team also has
Jimmy Garoppolo,
Josh Johnson, and
Josh Rosen signed. The guaranteed money might indicate that the Niners consider Sudfeld a better option over the latter two names.
San Francisco is also expected to use the No. 3 overall pick on April 29 to add a rookie quarterback. Could the team enter the 2021 season with Garoppolo, a rookie, and Sudfeld as its three quarterbacks?
Sudfeld, a sixth-round draft pick by the Washington Football Team in 2016, spent the past four seasons in Philadelphia. The 49ers' current quarterbacks coach, Rich Scangarello, spent last season as a senior offensive assistant with the Eagles.

On March 26, the San Francisco 49ers shocked the NFL world by executing a blockbuster trade, moving up nine spots in the upcoming draft to No. 3 overall. After quarterbacks Trevor Lawrence and Zach Wilson are likely taken off the draft board with the top two selections, the Niners will have their choice of three prospects — Justin Fields of Ohio State, Trey Lance of North Dakota State, or the less popular choice among fans, Mac Jones of Alabama.
Fields and Lance are seen as more athletic, and analysts feel both are the better long-term prospects when compared to Jones. Of course, the most important evaluation will come from head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch, with the former likely having the most influence in the decision.
