Overview
- Mac Jones, who said on Wednesday that he has “just a little soreness” in his shoulder, did not throw during recent OTAs and expects to be ready for training camp in late July.
- The 49ers canceled next week’s mandatory minicamp and have wrapped up the current offseason program, meaning Jones likely won’t throw again until training camp begins.
- San Francisco reworked Jones’s contract this offseason with added guaranteed money, incentives and a reported roster bonus to reward his 2025 fill-in work.
- The team told other clubs it values Jones and has no plans to move him now, while media and analysts urged a trade to capitalize on his market value.
- League coverage says a practical trade path is narrow: the 49ers would likely only deal Jones for an overpay from a contender after a starter’s injury, since he is high-value insurance behind Brock Purdy and will reach free agency after the 2026 season.
