Falcons could target Mac Jones if QB competition falters

The Atlanta Falcons face a quarterback competition between Michael Penix Jr. and Tua Tagovailoa leading into the 2026 season, with neither player guaranteed as the long-term starter. Coaches expect Penix to be full strength by training camp, but Tagovailoa has taken all offseason reps. Bleacher Report suggests the Falcons should consider pursuing San Francisco 49ers quarterback Mac Jones before the trade deadline if their situation remains uncertain. While the 49ers have no plans to trade Jones, that stance may change if they receive a suitable offer.
