Mac Jones is joining the San Francisco 49ers on a two-year contract worth $7 million, where he will serve as the primary backup quarterback to Brock Purdy. After spending his initial NFL seasons with the New England Patriots, Jones played for the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2024, stepping up as starter due to Trevor Lawrence's injury. His performance included 1,672 passing yards with eight touchdowns, though the team struggled with a 2-5 record in his starts. Coach Kyle Shanahan had previously expressed interest in Jones during the draft process.
"Mac, yeah, Mac Jones and Trey. Those were the two guys that we were locked in on from the beginning, and if we never moved up to [No. 3], we would have never had the chance to learn more about Trey."
"His decision to sign on with the 49ers links him up with Niners head coach Kyle Shanahan, who has spoken highly of Jones in the past."
