49ers Rework Backup QB Mac Jones’ 2026 Deal

San Francisco and reserve quarterback Mac Jones have reached agreement on restructuring his 2026 season contract, according to a Wednesday report from NFL Network.

The reworked agreement features a $300,000 roster bonus, $3.55 million in base salary, and an additional $2.25 million in potential incentive payments, according to the report.

The 27-year-old Jones, who stepped into the starting role for eight games last season (posting a 5-3 record) while filling in for an injured Brock Purdy, will hit free agency in March.

During his debut season with San Francisco, Jones posted career-best numbers by completing 69.6% of his throws for 2,151 yards, throwing 13 touchdown passes against six interceptions over 11 appearances.

Originally selected 15th overall in the first round and earning Pro Bowl honors with New England in 2021, Jones holds a 25-32 record as a starting quarterback across his time with the Patriots (2021-23), Jacksonville Jaguars (2024) and 49ers. Throughout 63 career games, he has connected on 66.5% of his attempts for 12,741 yards with 67 touchdowns and 50 interceptions.

Purdy, 26, was sidelined for eight contests last season due to a turf-toe injury. San Francisco’s quarterback room also includes Adrian Martinez and Kurtis Rourke.
