The San Francisco 49ers are evaluating the trade market for quarterback Mac Jones as they prepare for training camp. With Brock Purdy as the starter and strong depth behind him, sources indicate the franchise could benefit from a second-round pick in a potential deal. General manager John Lynch has been hesitant to trade Jones, previously asking for high value. However, experts suggest that teams may not be inclined to make an offer until a starting quarterback gets injured, which could change the dynamics of the trade market.
