Wisconsin Football Quarterback Settles in Ideal NFL Landing Spot

The San Francisco 49ers opted not to select a quarterback in the 2024 NFL Draft, but they did sign former Wisconsin football signal caller Tanner Mordecai as an undrafted free agent to come in and compete.

According to Spotrac, Mordecai signed a three-year, $2,830,000 contract with San Francisco, with an average annual salary of $943,333.

Mordecai will join a quarterback room that features three seasoned players: Brock Purdy, Josh Dobbs, and Brandon Allen. While Dobbs, with $2.25 million in guaranteed money, is likely to secure the backup quarterback position for 2024, Mordecai will have an opportunity to push for a spot with the third-team offense during camp.
