49ers consider future of quarterback Mac Jones amid trade discussions

The San Francisco 49ers are being encouraged to consider a trade for Pro Bowl backup quarterback Mac Jones ahead of the 2026 season. Despite suggestions of a potential deal, reports indicate the team currently has no plans to trade Jones, who is under contract until 2027. 49ers general manager John Lynch emphasized the team's valuation of Jones, stating they would require a strong offer to make a trade. Jones played in 11 games last season, showcasing his capabilities with impressive numbers. Given starter Brock Purdy's injury history, retaining Jones may be crucial for the team’s depth at quarterback.
