Lloyd tendered top level, Dorsey tendered low, and Nedney signs.
According to Matt Maiocco of the Santa Rosa Press Democrat, the 49ers are not letting Brandon Lloyd go anywhere.
The 49ers will tender Lloyd, the team’s leading receiver last season, at a first-round level, coach Mike Nolan said. The move makes it unlikely any other team will attempt to sign the three-year veteran. Lloyd will receive approximately $1.6 million next season if he signs the one-year tender with the 49ers.
If Lloyd signed an offer sheet with another team, the 49ers would have the right to match. If they declined to match, the 49ers would receive a first-round draft pick as compensation.
Other Niner Notes:
Quarterback Ken Dorsey, will be tendered at the lower figure, Nolan said. The 49ers would receive a seventh-round pick as compensation if another team signed Dorsey to a contract the 49ers declined to match.
The 49ers have reached an agreement with place-kicker Joe Nedney on a multiyear contract that averages $1.4 million annually, according to a league source. The deal is expected to become official on the first day of free agency.
The 49ers will not make much of an effort to re-sign fullback Fred Beasley, Nolan said.
