Report: No market yet for Mac Jones
Per The Athletic, a market has not yet emerged for the backup to 49ers starter Brock Purdy.
It makes sense. With plenty of free-agent options currently available — and with more coming as cuts are made — quarterback-needy teams are far more likely to consider players who could be acquired without losing a draft pick.
The 49ers wisely signed Jones to a two-year deal last year, giving them full control over his rights for 2026. They say they don’t want to trade him, but that’s surely posturing. For the right price, they’d find another No. 2 for the coming season.
Jones is due to make only $3.25 million in 2026. If someone trades for him with the idea of making him the starter or a competitor for the job, he may want a raise. That adds another wrinkle to the situation.

If the 49ers trade Mac Jones, expect a deal to happen soon.
General manager John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan have both said they expect the backup quarterback to remain with San Francisco in 2026, but NFL executives and head coaches rarely telegraph a trade. They know Jones played a crucial role in their 2025 success, and they’re well aware the former Patriots starter is the best possible option to back up Brock Purdy.

INDIANAPOLIS — With NFL teams sending fewer and fewer representatives, and the number of players participating in the drills also dwindling, the NFL Scouting Combine is just not like it used to be.
Even the hallowed ground of the Prime 47 steakhouse has taken a hit. For decades, general managers, coaches, agents and reporters would celebrate the one time of the year when everyone is not stressed out and talk ball over bourbon until the wee hours of the morning … but this year, there was a DJ booth and club lighting put in. The loud music sent anyone over 40 years old scurrying for other rumor rooms around town, from hotel bars to upscale Thai restaurants to chain coffee shops.
