No Market Yet for Mac Jones

According to The Athletic, no trade market has yet emerged for Mac Jones, who is currently backing up 49ers starter Brock Purdy.

Teams seeking quarterbacks are focusing on free-agent options rather than pursuing a trade for Jones. With numerous free agents available and more to come as cuts are made, teams have little incentive to give up draft picks for the 2021 first-round pick.

The 49ers have Jones under contract through 2026 and may consider trading him for the right price, especially considering he's only due $3.25 million in 2026. However, Jones might seek a raise if traded to a team planning to make him a starter, adding another layer of complexity to any potential deal.
