Report: 49ers signing Jones to 2-year, $7M deal
The San Francisco 49ers are signing quarterback Mac Jones to a two-year, $7-million deal, a source told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
The contract has a maximum value of $11.5 million with incentives, and $5 million guaranteed, Rapoport added.
Jones was traded to the Jacksonville Jaguars last season after the New England Patriots selected him in the first round of the 2021 draft. San Francisco made an offer to the Patriots last offseason but couldn't get a deal done, per NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
The 26-year-old played in 10 games with seven starts in 2024, totaling 1,672 passing yards with eight touchdowns and eight interceptions. Jones was Jacksonville's primary quarterback after Trevor Lawrence's season-ending injury.
Jones wanted an opportunity to play under 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The Alabama product will likely back up Brock Purdy, who is in line for a contract extension this offseason.
