No Trade Market Yet for Mac Jones

Despite being the 49ers' backup quarterback, no trade market has emerged for Mac Jones as teams favor free agents to avoid draft pick losses.

A trade market has not yet emerged for San Francisco 49ers backup quarterback Mac Jones. With the quarterback carousel underway, teams appear hesitant to trade for Jones when numerous free-agent options are readily available without surrendering draft picks.

The 49ers signed Jones to a two-year deal last year, retaining control over his rights until 2026. While the team publicly states they do not want to trade him, sources indicate they would entertain offers if the price is right, though his low 2026 salary cap hit complicates potential deals.
