SF 49ers should pass on tendering RFA Nick Mullens

The SF 49ers quarterback room is going to go through a sizable shakeup this offseason.

Aside from all the speculation and rumor surrounding the Niners’ starter, Jimmy Garoppolo, there’s an awfully good chance they move on from Jimmy G’s longtime backups, too, C.J. Beathard and Nick Mullens.

Beathard, an unrestricted free agent in 2021, doesn’t figure to be back. Yet San Francisco has slightly more control over Mullens, who is a restricted free agent and could be retained if the team elects to tender him.
