49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said he expects the team to keep Mac Jones for next season.

Shanahan said he was surprised that no team made an offer for Mac Jones on Thursday. It appears he will remain in San Francisco to backup Brock Purdy heading into next season.

49ers QB Mac Jones has received trade interest, but many interested around the league describe their price as “astronomical.”

The rumored asking price previously was in the range of a second-round pick for Jones. It appears he is likely going to remain as the backup in San Francisco.

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said he would be "very surprised" if Mac Jones does not remain on the team in 2026.

Jones is under contract in 2026 after signing a two-year deal ahead of the 2025 season. The only reason he would not be on the team was if the 49ers traded him, which seems unlikely based on Shanahan's comments. With Brock Purdy sidelined, Jones proved to be a premier QB2, going 5-3 with 13 touchdowns while battling his own injuries. He could be a top candidate for a starting job in 2027.

Mac Jones completed 33-of-39 pass attempts for 319 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception in the 49ers 42-26 loss to the Rams.

Fantasy Impact

Jones continues to turn in great starts with Brock Purdy (toe) still sidelined due to injury. Head coach Kyle Shanahan shared after the loss that Purdy could be ready to suit up in Week 11, but fantasy managers will want to wait for an official announcement next week. The 49ers will take on the Cardinals in Week 11.

Mac Jones will remain the 49ers starter on Sunday against the Rams.

Fantasy Impact

Brock Purdy is listed as questionable with his status being up in the air to be the backup behind Jones. He should remain a QB2 play.
