Need to re-sign Mullens or slap him with a 2nd round tender because I'm pretty sure his rookie contract is up at the end of the season. I wonder if they try to re-sign him, what would he sign for?

He's getting $570k this season so I would imagine something closer to twice that amount. Not sure what the average pay is for a backup QB though.

Bridgewater is making $8M I believe.

Well said.
You turn draft picks into good players, not good players into draft picks. It's just that simple.

Bingo!
Moot discussion.

Imagine Nick Mullens on the browns. He'll probably play better than trashfield and they'll be superbowl contenders lol

Reading the Broncos forum, when their fans first found out teams were interested in Sanders... some of them were calling for John Elway to go get our Mullens... OUR Mullens! How do they even know about him????
*squeezes Nick tight*
hang in there buddy. Might need you this year. Be Ready!

I wonder if Mullens was part of the initial talks but the 49ers said no way on that. Maybe they asked for a 4th or a 5th and Mullens.

oh boy!
HELL NO better not give him up!!!
look at all these teams struggling to get a QB... year after year.
Mullens looked good last year with less talent on offense and WAAAAAY WORSE defense.
You hold on to him, until Jimmy proves he can stay healthy for more than a few years. Even if you lose him to free agency down the road. Better to have him around than a 4th round pick.. or a even a 3rd round pick. And for myself, I wouldn't even give him up for a 2nd round pick. (not that he's worth that much on paper, but again the QB position is TOO important)
Multiple teams have inquired about Nick Mullens, per source. No idea if the 49ers are considering it, but there's interest.

Everyone on the board be like we wouldn't have won any of those games if Mullens was the starting qb, while at the same time be like don't trade Mullens, if Jimmy gets hurt we cant win without him.

i think we would be 4-2 at worst with mullens, maybe even 6-0. JimmyG hasnt really been asked to take over a game yet. Mullens overall did a good job of making the easy throws off play action and not turning it over. He knows the system and runs it really well. I would not give up Mullens at all this year because i dont trust Jimmy's health yet and i do believe Mullens could be a Nick Foles type of backup

Besides. If you traded Mullens away now for a draft pick, when would you use it? Spring 2020. If you kept him all year and traded him at the end of the season, when would you use the pick? Spring 2020. And, he'd have a chance to prove himself with Kyle and our receivers.
Unless we use it to get another player before then.
Or if his value is higher now than after the season. I'd be curious to know what team has expressed interest.

Leads a TD on his first drive.

Did have -3 yards rushing the ball today. Needs to work on that.
