Overview
- Multiple teams have contacted San Francisco about Jones, with the asking price described by The Athletic’s Dianna Russini as “astronomical.”
- The 49ers have told teams they want more than a second-round pick, with some reports characterizing the ask as a second-rounder plus additional assets.
- General manager John Lynch said only a “fairly strong” offer would prompt a deal, underscoring the team’s preference to keep Jones.
- Jones went 5-3 in eight starts in 2025, completing 69.6% of his passes for 2,151 yards with 13 touchdowns and six interceptions.
- On a two-year, $7 million contract with one season left, Jones remains a low-cost option as teams like the Steelers, Vikings and Browns weigh the price, and some analysis notes San Francisco could later recoup a compensatory pick if he leaves in free agency.
