Joshua Dobbs Joins 49ers as Backup Quarterback

The San Francisco 49ers have signed quarterback Joshua Dobbs to a one-year deal, bolstering their quarterback depth behind starter Brock Purdy.

Joshua Dobbs, formerly of the Arizona Cardinals and Minnesota Vikings, has signed a one-year, $2.25 million deal with the 49ers, including $750,000 in play-time incentives.
Dobbs, who started 12 games last season, is expected to serve as a backup to Brock Purdy, with former backup Sam Darnold having signed with the Vikings.
The 49ers emphasize a deep quarterback room following a season-ending injury crisis in 2022, aiming to avoid similar setbacks.
Dobbs' performance, including a notable game against the 49ers last season, and his experience with a run-first offense, were key factors in his signing.
Leonard Floyd, another recent 49ers signee, looks forward to teaming with Nick Bosa as a second outside rush threat, coming off a 10 1/2 sack season with Buffalo.
