Former 49ers quarterback Blaine Gabbert is reportedly remaining in the NFC West.
Gabbert will sign a one-year contract with the Arizona Cardinals, reports Adam Schefter of ESPN.
Gabbert, acquired in a 2014 trade from the Jacksonville Jaguars, started 13 games for the 49ers the past two seasons. He won the starting job at the beginning of last season but Colin Kaepernick replaced him after Gabbert struggled in five starts.

Last season, Gabbert completed just 56.9 percent of his pass attempts for 925 yards with five touchdowns and six interceptions. Christian Ponder replaced Gabbert as the team's backup quarterback for the final three games of the season.
Gabbert entered the NFL in 2011 as the No. 10 overall pick of the Jaguars.
He becomes the first 49ers quarterback of last season to sign elsewhere as a free agent. Kaepernick, Ponder and Thad Lewis, who spent last season on injured reserve, remain as unsigned free agents.
