Mandatory Credit: Geoff Burke-Imagn Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The San Francisco 49ers have a couple of things to deal with in their quarterback room this offseason. One of them is getting QB Brock Purdy&#8217;s contract extension done. The other is finding a backup for him.<\/p>\n<p>One of the potential backup options for Purdy is off the board. ESPN&#8217;s Adam Schefter on Tuesday reported QB Andy Dalton inked a two-year, $8 million contract with the Carolina Panthers after spending the last two seasons there behind young signal caller Bryce Young.<\/p>\n<p>San Francisco carried quarterbacks Brandon Allen and Joshua Dobbs behind Purdy last season. Both are set to hit free agency which opened the door for the 49ers to bring in a different QB2 option behind their franchise signal caller.<\/p>\n<p>Dalton is a quality veteran with a ton of games under his belt and experience working as a backup QB. One of the keys for San Francisco in finding a backup is that they&#8217;d be comfortable handing the keys to that player if they&#8217;re pushed into a starting role. Dalton&#8217;s 168 career starts certainly qualify him to grab a spot start.<\/p>\n<p>The 49ers will need to find a different direction now though. There are still a handful of interesting veteran options due to hit the free agent market. They could also use a relatively early draft pick in hopes of developing a young player behind Purdy who can take on the QB2 job at an affordable rate for the next few seasons.<\/p>\n<h2>More!<\/h2>\n<p>No 49ers free agents worth a franchise tag in 2025<\/p>\n<p>49ers met with intriguing DL prospect who can help major depth issue<\/p>\n<p>49ers reunite with free agent CB, get 1st round steal in dream offseason<\/p>\n<p><em>This article originally appeared on Niners Wire: Possible 49ers backup QB target off the board after signing new deal<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The San Francisco 49ers have a couple of things to deal with in their quarterback room this offseason.
