Overview
- Pro Football Talk reports league chatter that Minnesota will explore a 2026 offseason trade for the 49ers quarterback.
- Jones boosted his market by going 5–3 with 2,151 yards, 13 touchdowns and six interceptions while filling in for Brock Purdy.
- Albert Breer projects San Francisco could fetch a 2026 Day 2 pick plus a possible conditional 2027 Day 3 pick.
- Breer also names the Dolphins and Cardinals as potential bidders given Jones’ fit and affordability.
- Jones is under contract through 2026 at a modest figure near $4.66 million, and some analysts argue the 49ers should keep him as reliable insurance; no trade talks or agreements have been reported.
