Overview
- ESPN’s Dan Graziano identified Pittsburgh and Indianapolis as potential suitors for Mac Jones after his strong relief run in 2025.
- Jones completed roughly 70% of his passes for 2,151 yards with 13 touchdowns and six interceptions across eight starts, reviving his market.
- He is under contract for 2026 at about $2.8 million, a team-friendly figure that boosts his trade value.
- With Aaron Rodgers indicating this season is likely his last, the Steelers could explore veteran options, while the Colts face uncertainty following Daniel Jones’ torn Achilles.
- Analysts project San Francisco could seek a Day 2 pick plus conditional draft capital, and the 49ers have depth — Purdy starting, rookie Kurtis Rourke in the pipeline, and Adrian Martinez back on the practice squad — as GM John Lynch keeps options open.
