Rival NFC West QB could thwart 49ers' monopoly on Mac Jones trade market

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.
