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.

The San Francisco 49ers announced that exclusive-rights free agent Daniel Brunskill, an offensive lineman, has signed his one-year tender. The Niners tendered the one-year contract to Brunskill on March 12.
The Atlanta Falcons signed Brunskill as an undrafted free agent out of San Diego State in 2017. He played for the San Diego Fleet of the now-defunct AAF league before signing with the 49ers on April 11, 2019.
Brunskill, 27, has 30 game appearances and 23 starts through his two seasons in San Francisco. The versatile offensive lineman started all 16 games in 2020 and has experience at center, guard, and tackle.

Ex-scout says 49ers selecting Mac Jones would be 'one of the most arrogant picks' in NFL history

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.

With so many smokescreens and teams keeping their strategies close to the vest, it's tough to believe anything you hear when it comes to pre-draft rumors and speculation. Everyone in the media feels the San Francisco 49ers traded up to the No. 3 spot for Alabama quarterback Mac Jones, whether they can make sense of it or not.
Much of that is based on what they hear from around the league. Their colleagues and other teams feel Jones might be the pick, despite the overwhelming opinion that the selection would be a reach.
NFL Media analyst Bucky Brooks doesn't even view Jones as worthy of a first-round pick, much less No. 3 overall.
"Perhaps the Alabama quarterback is a secret member of The Avengers, operating like Tony Stark as Iron Man,"
