The San Francisco 49ers haven't openly come and said they're going to attempt to trade backup quarterback Mac Jones this offseason after a successful resurrection of his career, one that helped the Niners reach a 5-3 record while starting signal-caller Brock Purdy was out with injury.
However, general manager John Lynch didn't exactly close the door on a would-be Jones trade this offseason either.
Indeed, ESPN's Dan Graziano suggested Jones' name as one to watch once the NFL calendar year turns, recognizing there'll be plenty of quarterback-needy teams yet not enough clear-cut names out there to meet demands.
