Mac Jones Triggers $400,000 Bonus as 49ers Beat Falcons for His Fourth Win

A win-based clause in his two-year backup deal pays $400,000 at four starter victories with $100,000 for each win after.

Overview

  • San Francisco topped Atlanta 20-10 on Sunday night, moving to 5-2 as Jones improved to 4-1 in five starts.
  • NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported that the Falcons win activated the $400,000 payout and launched a $100,000-per-win structure going forward.
  • Some outlets note the per-game payouts require Jones to play at least 25% of offensive snaps for the win to count toward the incentive.
  • Brock Purdy remains out with a toe injury that was aggravated earlier in the season, and no firm return timeline has been announced.
  • Jones signed a two-year deal reported around $7 million with incentives, and he managed a modest 17-of-26 for 152 yards and one interception as the defense and Christian McCaffrey’s rushing (129 yards, two TDs) drove the win.
