49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan expressed surprise that no teams have made trade offers for QB Mac Jones this offseason, especially during the first round of the draft. Shanahan anticipates Jones will remain on the roster for next season but acknowledged that Jones's trade value may have passed. While a few teams had previously inquired about trading for him, San Francisco's asking price has been deemed too high. Jones, who is under contract for another year as a backup to Brock Purdy, signed with the 49ers after a brief stint with the Jaguars.

By the Numbers
  • In 2025, Jones played 11 games, starting 8, with 2,151 passing yards, 13 touchdowns, and 6 interceptions.
  • Signed a two-year deal with the 49ers after the Jaguars declined his fifth-year option.
State of Play
  • Shanahan and GM John Lynch show little interest in trading Jones despite outside inquiries.
  • No teams made offers during the first round of the draft, indicating a lack of market demand.
What's Next

Jones may stay with the 49ers for the upcoming season unless a team meets San Francisco's steep asking price. Future trade discussions may emerge closer to the start of the season if situations evolve.

Bottom Line

Mac Jones remains a valuable but underutilized asset for the 49ers, with his future hinging on team negotiations and market dynamics. Shanahan's surprise signals potential untapped trade opportunities, but the 49ers' expectations may limit his movement.
