ESPN Identifies Steelers, Colts as Potential Trade Suitors for 49ers QB Mac Jones

Pittsburgh’s next move likely depends on Aaron Rodgers’ decision about 2026.

Overview

  • Dan Graziano of ESPN pointed to Pittsburgh and Indianapolis as possible trade destinations for Mac Jones in the 2026 offseason.
  • Jones is under contract with San Francisco on a two-year, $8.4 million deal and carries a $2.8 million salary for next season.
  • In relief of Brock Purdy this year, Jones produced roughly 2,151 passing yards with 13 touchdowns and six interceptions across 10 appearances, boosting his market value.
  • The Steelers are projected near the No. 20 pick in the 2026 draft and currently have Mason Rudolph and Will Howard under contract as internal options.
  • Indianapolis faces short-term uncertainty after Daniel Jones’ torn Achilles, with Anthony Richardson and Riley Leonard in place but potential interest in a veteran stopgap reported.
