The San Francisco 49ers announced they have signed QB Mac Jones to a two-year deal. Jones (6-3, 200) was originally drafted by the New England Patriots with the 15 th overall selection of the 2021 NFL Draft.

The San Francisco 49ers agreed to a two-year, $7 million contract with free agent quarterback Mac Jones. Sources told NFL Network, ESPN and The Athletic about the agreement Wednesday. The pact has a maximum value of $11.

The San Franicsco 49ers' free agent pickup of Mac Jones is about more than simply quarterback depth. The Niners know they need to gain leverage for Brock Purdy's contract negotiations, in part due to the pain they endured at the hands of their "ruthless" tackle Trent Williams.
