Geesh. That's how much invested in the QB position for 2021?
$35M with one sitting a year?
Contract comparisons of the Big Five QBs. Signing bonuses listed as SB

Lawrence: $36.8m, $24.1m SB
Wilson: $35.2m, $22.9m SB
Lance: $34.1m, $22.2m SB
Fields: $18.9m, $11.1m SB
Jones: $15.6m, $8.7m SB
The fact 49ers picked Lance over Fields/Jones meant about $20m more for Lance
What does that matter? Jimmy can be moved by next offseason if need be.
Well, no. Most likely, because of the redshirt, that's $26M we can't roll over to next year because we need Jimmy to play. I'm totally cool with that but clearly, that room just got expensive.
