JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback C.J. Beathard signed a two-tear contract with Jacksonville. He gives the Jaguars an experienced backup if they trade Gardner Minshew. Responding to a question about Minshew potentially being on the block last week, coach Urban Meyer said “at this point, no.” Signing Beathard could change that. A person familiar with negotiations says the deal is worth $5 million. The person spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity. Beathard started 12 games over four years in San Francisco. Jacksonville is expected to select Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence with the No. 1 pick in next month’s draft.
