EspañolChanges are surely coming to the San Francisco 49ers‘ roster this offseason. The team has already admitted that Brandon Aiyuk’s days with the 49ers are over, but they haven’t announced a transaction quite yet.
Meanwhile, the 49ers could be preparing to say goodbye to All-Pro left tackle Trent Williams if they can’t reach a contract resolution soon. But that’s not all.
There has also been a lot of smoke about a potential Mac Jones trade this offseason, but the 49ers have been unwilling to declare him as a goner. However, the 49ers have indicated that they’d prefer to keep Jones, who has just one year left on his contract.
Though recently, 49ers general manager John Lynch admitted that the 49ers are willing to hear out trade offers for the Pro Bowl QB. But he also warned other general managers that it’s going to take a “fairly strong” offer to get the 49ers to trade him.
“He’s really good for us, and we value that.” Lynch said. “So somebody would have to come with something fairly strong for us to consider. And then I don’t know what we do. Obviously, there’s always something that would make you [do it], but I think we’re a better team with him on it and we just like having him around.”
Teams are always hunting for their next starting quarterback. The 49ers feel they have a franchise QB in Purdy, plus a starting-caliber backup in Jones. Yet, now they could capitalize on Jones’ improved value and parlay it into another contributor if they get the draft compensation they seek.
