Mac Jones details personal Brock Purdy relationship that now has former Patriots saviour targeting $50m quarterback’s job
Mac Jones is on his way to San Francisco and they’ll be some familiar faces to welcome him. The 49ers have had several issues with a depleted roster over the years and Jones’ arrival means it’s another change in the quarterback room. Mac Jones joined the 49ers after spending 2024 with the JaguarsGETTY It it just over 12 months since the Niners were beaten by the Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII and while injuries cost them in 2024, the team are never in rebuilding mode under head coach Kyle Shanahan despite a huge turnover in players already this offseason. The franchise finished the season with a 6-11 record and people inside the team would point to their exhausted roster as the reason behind their struggles. So it’s no shock that San Francisco have been busy this off-season. They’ve let go of 17 players in what has been a massive shake-up to a franchise that is known for its stable roster. In the midst of this transformation, has been the arrival of Jones, who improves their quarterback group which had already lost Brandon Allen and Josh Dobbs. The former Jaguars signal-caller signed a two-year $7 million deal with the 49ers and immediately referenced his relationship with starting quarterback Brock Purdy as a key factor. “I feel like there’s a lot of good people here, a lot of winners here,” Jones said, via the team website. “So really just wanted to surround myself with winners.” “I know Brock personally and he’s done a great job and played really good football in the NFL,” Jones said. Purdy is in the midst of contract talks with the franchise, and is believing to be seeking around $50million a season – a figure that so far is holding up any attempt for the one-time Mr Irrelevant to join the ranks of the league’s highest earning QBs.
