Mac Jones was traded from the Patriots to the Jaguars due to his declining performance, indicating he was not the future quarterback for the franchise. After a challenging season with the Jaguars, he became a free agent and joined the San Francisco 49ers as a backup. The 49ers coaching staff has praised Jones’ intelligence and ability to learn the offense quickly. Offensive coordinator Klay Kubiak noted his impressive performance during training camp, suggesting he is rediscovering his form and improving on the field.
"He's picking it up really well. He's been really impressive. Mac's a really smart guy. He got all these reps in OTAs for the first time, and now he's kind of getting the second time through it. You can see improvement."
"Despite the belief that it would be nearly impossible to trade him after a steadily declining career since being drafted in 2021, the Patriots were able to reach a deal with the Jaguars, where Jones spent the 2024 season."
