Jones, who had been written off by many, played well in place of Purdy, which led to speculation about the one-time Pro Bowler\u2019s future.<\/p>\n<p>The consensus seemed to be that the 49ers would trade Jones in the offseason to capitalize on his increased value, but he has yet to be moved, even after the first day of the 2026 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Kyle Shanahan Chimes in on Mac Jones\u2019 Future With 49ers<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_5940325\">\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GettyImages-2249206628-e1777023461662.jpg?quality=65&amp;strip=all\" alt=\"49ers' Mac Jones Gets Clear Answer From Kyle Shanahan on Trade Future\" width=\"780\" height=\"439\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5940325\" data-lazy-load=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-5940325\">GettyMac Jones #10 of the San Francisco 49ers<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The 49ers\u2019 brass decided to trade out of the first round, which prompted questions from the media about why that decision was made and whether Jones\u2019 future with the team was in doubt.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPretty sure. Yeah, I\u2019d be real surprised if he\u2019s not,\u201d Shanahan on Jones\u2019 immediate future with the 49ers. \u201cIt also really surprised me that no one came and offered something like today. But the fact that no one did, doesn\u2019t make me think someone\u2019s going to do something tomorrow, and his value probably already passed anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shanahan seems to believe that Jones will be with the 49ers to start the 2026 campaign as Purdy\u2019s primary backup, which is a pretty good setup for the storied NFL franchise.<\/p>\n<p>However, he also opens the door for something going down during the rest of the NFL Draft, which will get back underway on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>At this point in the NFL offseason, most teams have already addressed their quarterback situation and have a good idea who will be under center and who their backups will be, but that can change at a moment\u2019s notice.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Brock Purdy Opens Up on Mike Evans Signing With 49ers<\/h2>\n<p>The 49ers headed into the NFL offseason with the intention of upgrading the wide receiver position, with a few intriguing options on the open market in free agency.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, the 49ers were able to convince veteran star wide receiver Mike Evans to leave the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who are the only teams he\u2019s played for during his professional career, to head to the Bay Area.<\/p>\n<p>Purdy recently reacted to his team signing Evans in free agency, recalling hearing the news while working out at George Kittle\u2018s house, via NBC Sports Bay Area.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was working out at George\u2019s place and got the news that we just signed Mike Evans,\u201d Purdy said of the signing of the veteran wideout. \u201cUp in George\u2019s weight room, he\u2019s got a Mike Evans jersey, so I was like, \u2018Alright, sick.
