Barnwell proposes Mac Jones trade the 49ers might not be able to refuse<\/a>
\u201cVikings get: QB Mac Jones, 2027 third-round pick. 49ers get: 2026 second-round pick, 2027 fifth-round pick (conditional), 2028 third-round pick (conditional).
\u201cThe 2027 conditional pick would trigger based on Jones\u2019 playing time with the Vikings,\u201d Barnwell explained. \u201cIf he starts four games in 2026, the Vikings send a fifth-round pick out west. If Jones starts 12 games, that gets upped to a third-rounder. And then, if Jones re-signs with the Vikings after the 2026 season and starts at least one game for the Vikings in 2027, the 49ers would land another third-round pick.\u201d<\/p>\n

49ers insider identifies two potential salary-cap cut candidates<\/a>
\u201cHuff and Robinson fall into the same category: 2025 acquisitions who didn\u2019t live up to expectations,\u201d Barrows wrote. \u201cHuff, who\u2019s due to earn $17 million, finished with just four sacks and none after Week 7\u2026.Robinson, meanwhile, had ample opportunities for a major role in the passing attack due to all the injuries to 49ers pass catchers, but ended up with just 276 receiving yards, seventh best on the team,\u201d Barrows noted.<\/p>\n

\u201cBoth play positions of need for the 49ers, meaning that despite their underwhelming 2025 campaigns, they could be back,\u201d Barrows added. \u201cIt\u2019s possible the team approaches Huff about restructuring his contract.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite the Bengals\u2019 defensive liabilities, Flacco threw for 15 touchdowns and nearly 2,500 yards. Still has a gunslinger mentality and is a statue in the pocket, but given his savvy and experience, he can more than hold the fort for the 49ers.\u201d<\/p>\n

49ers\u2019 quandary heading into free agency: Who should stay and who should go? (Paywall)
<\/a>\u201cThe 49ers should sign Hennessy to another multi-year deal. Brendel isn\u2019t signed beyond 2026 and Hennessy could be a very affordable heir apparent. Hennessy, who has made 24 career starts in six seasons, doesn\u2019t have an eye-popping resume, but he has the movement skills and smarts Shanahan prizes in the position. He\u2019s similar to Brendel, who was even less heralded. Brendel made three starts in his first six seasons before becoming the 49ers\u2019 starter in 2022.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Barnwell proposes Mac Jones trade the 49ers might not be able to refuse\u201cVikings get: QB Mac Jones, 2027…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":453332,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2080],"tags":[220,52307,7,6,1161,252,1137,2624,2623],"class_list":{"0":"post-758094","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-francisco-49ers","8":"tag-49ers","9":"tag-49ers-links","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-nfl","12":"tag-san-francisco","13":"tag-san-francisco-49ers","14":"tag-san-francisco-49ers-news","15":"tag-sanfrancisco","16":"tag-sanfrancisco49ers"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116085616995001136","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/758094","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=758094"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/758094\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/453332"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=758094"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=758094"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=758094"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
