49ers Expected to Receive "Big Offers" for Backup QB Mac Jones

The San Francisco 49ers are reportedly expected to receive "big offers" for backup quarterback Mac Jones this offseason, particularly from QB-needy teams facing a weak 2026 NFL Draft class. Jones filled in admirably last season when Brock Purdy was injured, completing 69.6% of his passes for 2,151 yards, 13 touchdowns, and six interceptions in 11 games (8 starts), all career bests. While the 49ers have 'no plans' to trade him and view him as valuable, GM John Lynch and coach Kyle Shanahan will listen if the price is right, with bidding potentially starting at a third-round pick.
