Mac Jones Expected to Remain with 49ers for 2026 Season

San Francisco 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan stated Wednesday that he expects quarterback Mac Jones to be with the team for the 2026 season. GM John Lynch also praised Jones, who went 5-3 as a starter, completing 69.6 percent of his passes for 7.4 YPA, providing a fantastic return on his two-year, $8.4 million contract. While Jones may not be content to return as an underpaid backup, his contract gives the 49ers leverage for potential trade or raise discussions.
