What happened: The San Francisco 49ers spotlighted Mac Jones in today's '90-in-90' roster series, evaluating his role as the team's primary backup quarterback. Jones is currently navigating the 2026 offseason on a revised contract following a productive 2025 campaign.

Why it matters: Jones provides elite stability for a San Francisco roster with championship aspirations, having posted a winning record as a starter last season. His revised deal with a $300,000 roster bonus reflects the organization's trust in his ability to manage the offense if needed.

By the numbers: 2025 stats: 11 games (8 starts), 2,151 passing yards, 13 TD, 6 INT, 69.6% completion rate.

What to watch: Jones aims to be fully cleared for training camp in late July as he manages minor shoulder soreness during June OTAs.
