ESPN Proposes Mac Jones Trade to Vikings for Multiple Draft Picks

ESPN's Bill Barnwell suggests a hypothetical trade sending 49ers QB Mac Jones to the Vikings for a 2026 second-round pick and two conditional future picks. Jones, due $4.7 million in 2026, played effectively as a backup in 2025. Despite reports the 49ers don't intend to trade him, his high market value and the potential to acquire multiple draft assets to address roster holes make such a deal a "no-brainer" from a GM perspective. The conditional picks would be tied to Jones' playing time and potential re-signing in Minnesota.
