Who Should I Start? Nick Mullens or Brock Purdy

Monday, March 10, 4:55 PM

The Jacksonville Jaguars agreed to terms with free-agent quarterback Nick Mullens on Monday on a two-year, $6.5 million deal with $3 million guaranteed, a source told NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. Mullens will be the new backup to Trevor Lawrence in head coach Liam Coen's first year in Duvall. The 29-year-old Mullens will reunite with new Jaguars assistant coach Grant Udinski after the two worked together with the Minnesota Vikings. Mullens spent the last three years in Minnesota, appearing in 13 games (three starts) while throwing for 1,568 yards, eight touchdowns and nine interceptions. He only appeared in four games in relief last year with Sam Darnold having a career year. Mullens will provide veteran backup depth behind Lawrence, though, having appeared in 33 games (20 starts) in his seven years in the NFL with Minnesota, San Francisco and Cleveland.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) is inactive for Sunday's Week 10 contest against the Los Angeles Rams. He had been listed as questionable but was not expected to play after being a limited participant in practice last week. The team is hopeful that Purdy can return in Week 11 following a six-game absence. So far, he has appeared in just two games this season. Mac Jones will earn another start in his absence on Sunday.
