GLENDALE, Ariz. — Joshua Dobbs spent the 2024 season in a backup role, seeing mop-up action in one game.

Dobbs had an up-and-down final game before hitting the free-agent market. He threw for for 326 yards and two touchdowns but also had three turnovers in the 49ers' 47-24 loss to the Arizona Cardinals.
