49ers QB Nick Mullens has signed his exclusive rights tender for the 2020 season on Friday, according to ESPN’s Field Yates.
Exclusive rights contracts are essentially one-year minimum contracts based on player’s NFL service time.
Mullens, 24, wound up signing on with the 49ers as an undrafted free agent out of Southern Miss back in 2017. He was waived coming out of the preseason and later added to their practice squad.
The 49ers brought Mullens back on a futures contract in 2018 only to release him at the start of the regular season. Mullens had a brief stint on their practice squad before being called up following Jimmy Garoppolo‘s season-ending knee injury.
In 2018, Mullens appeared in eight games for the 49ers and completed 64.2 percent of his passes for 2,277 yards, 13 touchdowns and 10 interceptions.
