Mac Jones is the cherry perched atop the hot-mud sundae the San Francisco 49ers are serving to their fans during the team’s current (pick one) tear-down/re-tool/rebuild. The 49ers agreed to sign Jones as their backup quarterback Wednesday.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the 49ers are signing QB Mac Jones to a two-year, $7 million contract. The deal includes $5 million guaranteed and a max value of $11.5 million. This is very interesting considering that there was a great deal of buzz in the 2021 NFL Draft about the 49ers selecting Jones at No.

Jones was heavily rumored to be a favorite of Kyle Shanahan ahead of the 2021 draft. Now they are together with the 49ers.
