There’s a new backup in the Bay for 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy.<\/p>\n

Mac Jones officially signed a two-year contract with San Francisco, the team announced Friday.<\/p>\n

A source confirmed the agreement to NBC Sports Bay Area’s Matt Maiocco on Wednesday. The news was first reportedly by NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport.<\/p>\n

The deal is a $7 million contract with $5 million guaranteed and a max value of $11.5 million, Rapoport also reported Wednesday, citing a source.<\/p>\n

After widespread speculation that the 49ers would select Jones out of Alabama in the 2021 NFL Draft, they instead\u00a0chose quarterback Trey Lance\u00a0with the No. 3 pick, while Jones went to the New England Patriots at No. 15 overall.<\/p>\n

Following three seasons with the Patriots, Jones was traded to the Jacksonville Jaguars before the 2024 NFL season and started seven games. With Jacksonville, Jones completed 65.3 percent of his passes for 1,672 yards and eight touchdowns with eight interceptions.<\/p>\n

Across his four-season NFL career, Jones has completed 65.9 percent of his passes for 10,590 yards and 54 touchdowns with 44 picks.<\/p>\n
