Sam Darnold on Monday agreed to a one-year contract with the 49ers. Terms of the deal were revealed Tuesday by NFL Media’s Tom Pelissero and indicate where Darnold stands in the QB pecking order in San Francisco.
Pelissero reported Darnold’s contract is worth a base value of $4.5 million with $3.5 million guaranteed. The deal with incentives could reach $11.5 million. That’s not a typical deal handed out to a QB expected to be inactive on game days as the third QB.
