Overview
- Head coach Kyle Shanahan said he would be very surprised if Jones is not with the team next season, and general manager John Lynch echoed that stance while noting the team is better with Jones on the roster.
- Jones revived his value in 2025 with eight starts and a 5–3 record, posting 2,151 passing yards, 13 touchdowns, six interceptions, a 69.6% completion rate, and a 97.4 passer rating.
- Jones is signed through 2026 on a two-year, $7 million deal with a 2026 base salary around $2.81 million, making him a low-cost QB2 after his successful run filling in for Brock Purdy.
- Trade talk continues around the league, with Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer floating the Vikings as a possible destination and reporting framed as speculation rather than a firm plan.
- Reporting from The Athletic, cited by ClutchPoints, suggests a third-round pick could compel San Francisco to consider a deal, while Jones has said, “Whatever happens, happens,” indicating he is comfortable staying.
