The San Francisco 49ers are weighing the potential trade of backup quarterback Mac Jones. An analysis suggests that if the team received a projected offer of a second-round pick in the 2027 NFL Draft, it would be straightforward for the 49ers to accept. Jones, who had a promising performance in a relief role in 2025, is seen as a reclamation project, making him attractive for trade. Should the 49ers trade him, they would likely receive a lower pick if he walks in free agency, complicating their backup quarterback situation.
