Overview

• Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox named the Jets and Rams as possible trade destinations for Jones, noting both franchises lack a long-term answer at quarterback.
• Klay Kubiak publicly endorsed Jones’s potential, stating he believes the 27-year-old backup can start in the NFL.
• Tanner Mordecai and rookie Kurtis Rourke are the only quarterbacks behind Brock Purdy and Jones, a depth shortage that deters San Francisco from trading its top understudy.
• After signing a two-year deal in March, Jones has trained in Kyle Shanahan’s offense to bolster his upside.
• The team’s reluctance to trade Jones suggests it would require a substantial offer to justify reducing its quarterback insurance policy behind a fully guaranteed $265 million starter.
