Former New England Patriots starting quarterback Mac Jones has found a new team. The 26-year-old is joining the San Francisco 49ers as an unrestricted free agent.
According to a report by Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Jones signed a two-year contract worth $7 million with $5 million in guarantees.
Jones originally arrived in New England as the 15th overall selection in the 2021 draft. The Alabama product earned the Patriots’ starting job right away, and had an active hand in the team going 10-7 and making the playoffs that year. But while the future seemed bright at that point, he was unable to develop into a long-term franchise quarterback.
