San Francisco 49ers backup quarterback Mac Jones made it clear on Wednesday that he\u2019s ready to be a starter again<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Niners aren\u2019t keen on the idea of moving the 27-year-old former New England Patriots signal-caller though, according to senior NFL insider Dianna Russini<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor teams looking to swing a deal for 49ers backup QB Mac Jones, I\u2019m told San Francisco is not looking to part with the 2021 first-rounder,\u201d Russini wrote for The Athletic in a report published Saturday morning. \u201cThings and offers can change, but the 49ers\u2019 preference is to keep their Brock Purdy-Jones tandem intact for 2026. Jones\u2019 5-3 record as a starter amid the team\u2019s major injury struggles helped keep San Francisco afloat, and Kyle Shanahan loves what he has in the 27-year-old.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jones appeared in 11 games and made eight starts for San Francisco during the 2025 season, posting a career-high 69.6% completion percentage with 2,151 passing yards, 13 touchdowns and six interceptions.<\/p>\n

The former 15th overall pick lost his starting job with the Patriots during the 2023 campaign and was traded to the Jacksonville Jaguars in March 2024.<\/p>\n

Jones finished the 2024 season with 1,672 passing yards, eight touchdowns and eight interceptions across 10 games, seven of which he started in place of an injured Trevor Lawrence.<\/p>\n

The Alabama product signed a two-year, $8.4 million contract with the Niners in March.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"San Francisco 49ers backup quarterback Mac Jones made it clear on Wednesday that he\u2019s ready to be a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":736633,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2050],"tags":[7,5215,1167,249,2326,2094,6,832,208],"class_list":{"0":"post-736632","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-england-patriots","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-mac-jones","10":"tag-new-england","11":"tag-new-england-patriots","12":"tag-newengland","13":"tag-newenglandpatriots","14":"tag-nfl","15":"tag-nfl-rumors","16":"tag-patriots"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116031707119266928","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/736632","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=736632"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/736632\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/736633"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=736632"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=736632"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=736632"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
