With Jones on an expiring deal, do the 49ers bite, or do they retain possibly the best backup quarterback in the league as a break-glass-in-case-of-emergency option?

STACKED’s take

NeutralValue

Jones' expiring deal makes him potential trade deadline candidate if 49ers are strong.

Mac Jones is on an expiring deal heading into the 2026 season. The source poses a hypothetical scenario where, if the 49ers are 6-2 and Purdy is playing elite football by the Week 10 trade deadline, teams like the Vikings (4-4 with subpar QB play), Falcons, or Colts might offer a second-round or third-round pick for Jones to address their quarterback situations. The 49ers would face a decision on whether to trade him or retain him as a backup.
