49ers Stand Pat on Mac Jones as Steelers Eye Other Moves
The 49ers publicly say they won’t trade Mac Jones after he stepped in for an injured Brock Purdy and delivered a solid season, keeping him under contract through 2026. Despite suggested Steelers interest and potential draft-capital moves, San Francisco appears committed to Jones as either a starter or valuable backup, while Pittsburgh weighs options ahead of the draft. A trade would aim to maximize value before or during the draft, but could backfire if Jones performs well in 2026 or becomes expensive to keep.
