Jaguars Sign C.J. Beathard
4 years agoThe Jacksonville Jaguars are signing former San Francisco 49ers quarterback C.J. Beathard to a two-year, $5 million deal on Wednesday, according to a source informed of the situation. The deal will include more possible money in incentives. Beathard, a former third-round pick, primarily spent the last four years in San Francisco as a backup under head coach Kyle Shanahan. He completed 58.6 percent of his passes for 3,469 yards, 18 touchdowns and 13 interceptions in 12 starts. Beathard doesn't have high upside when on the field, but he's capable of leading an offense in an emergency situation behind presume top overall pick Trevor Lawrence. The addition of Beathard could also mean that a trade of Gardner Minshew II is coming soon. Beathard would be a low-end QB2 for fantasy managers if he makes any starts in 2021.
