The Facts:
The 49ers have reached an agreement with Hill on a three-year contract. Hill was scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent at the end of the month. Terms of the contract were not immediately known, but you can expect the contract to be worth approximately $2 million a year with playing-time bonuses that could further compensate Hill if he were to win the starting job.

Hill told Press-Democrat staffer Matt Maiocco that he expected to receive the paperwork Tuesday and then he would sign the deal. Hill will get a chance to compete against Alex Smith for the starting job under new OC Mike Martz. "I'm excited about the opportunity to play for coach Martz," Hill said. "He's done some neat things with quarterbacks in the past. And I'm similar to the guys he's had in the past. ..." Hill went on to compare his style of play to that of Marc Bulger. Hill was the most impressive of the 49ers' quarterbacks last season as he saw the first significant action of his six-year NFL career. The 49ers won both of his starts, as Hill completed 54 of 79 passes for 501 yards with five touchdowns and one interception.
