The 49ers signed Mordecai to a reserve/future contract Monday. Mordecai signed with San Francisco as an undrafted free agent in May and, after being waived near the end of training camp, latched on with the team's practice squad in August. He remained there throughout the campaign, and the organization liked what they saw from him enough to keep him around through the offseason. Mordecai will have a chance to compete for a spot on the active roster during training camp this summer.

The 49ers signed Mordecai to a reserve/future contract Monday. Mordecai signed with San Francisco as an undrafted free agent in May and, after being waived near the end of training camp, latched on with the team's practice squad in August. He remained there throughout the campaign, and the organization liked what they saw from him enough to keep him around through the offseason. Mordecai will have a chance to compete for a spot on the active roster during training camp this summer.
The 49ers signed Mordecai to their practice squad Wednesday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. Mordecai was able to show enough potential throughout training camp and the preseason to earn a spot on San Francisco's practice squad. While it's unlikely the rookie undrafted free agent sees any playing time, he will still serve as an insurance if either Brock Purdy, Brandon Allen and Joshua Dobbs get hurt.
Mordecai was waived by the 49ers on Tuesday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. Mordecai signed with San Francisco as an undrafted free agent in May. Ultimately, he was unable to push past Joshua Dobbs and Brandon Allen to earn a spot on the 49ers' final depth chart behind starter Brock Purdy.
Mordecai has agreed to terms on a contract with the 49ers. Mordecai was a backup at Oklahoma to commence his collegiate career before transferring to SMU and recording 7,152 yards through the air, 72 touchdowns and 22 interceptions across two seasons. He subsequently played one final season with the Badgers in Wisconsin, where he recorded 2,065 passing yards, nine touchdowns and four interceptions. With plenty of experience under center, he will now look to prove himself as an NFL caliber quarterback in San Francisco. He will presumably compete with Brandon Allen for the No. 3 role under center behind Brock Purdy and Joshua Dobbs.
