Overview
- Kyle Shanahan said he would be very surprised if Jones is not with the team next season, and John Lynch emphasized the 49ers are a better team with him on the roster.
- Jones went 5-3 across eight starts in 2025 with 2,151 yards, 13 touchdowns, six interceptions and career-best efficiency numbers.
- Jones is under a two-year deal through 2026 on a team-friendly contract, with Yahoo Sports noting a $2.81 million 2026 salary.
- The team will listen to inquiries but is expected to require significant draft capital, with some reporting suggesting only a premium pick would prompt a move.
- Reported interest has come from teams such as the Steelers, Jets and Vikings, but San Francisco’s leverage and potential future compensatory value bolster its hold stance.
