Analyst links two NFC teams to potential trade for Mac Jones

As the 2026 NFL season progresses, Mac Jones of the San Francisco 49ers is mentioned as a possible trade target. Analysts suggest the Atlanta Falcons and Minnesota Vikings may pursue Jones due to their uncertain quarterback situations. The Falcons are struggling with injuries to their quarterbacks, while the Vikings may seek more stability after a Week 1 victory. Although Jones has been effective as a backup, the 49ers might be reluctant to trade him given their Super Bowl aspirations for the season. However, with Jones heading to free agency in 2027, the 49ers might consider lowering their asking price to recoup draft capital.
