49ers Set Steep Price on Mac Jones as Trade Market Stays Quiet

A bargain cap hit makes keeping him attractive given Purdy’s injury history.

Overview

  • GM John Lynch said the team values Jones and would only consider a "fairly strong" trade offer.
  • Multiple reports indicate San Francisco is seeking at least a high second-round pick, with some suggesting more than a second.
  • Interest has been linked to the Dolphins and Vikings, though no formal offers have surfaced.
  • League quarterback movement has tempered urgency, with teams exploring other options before dealing picks for Jones.
  • Jones boosted his value with a 5-3 record, 69.6% completion rate, and 13 TDs in 2025 on a $3.07 million 2026 cap hit, and a future compensatory pick is part of the 49ers’ calculus.
