Based on the quote above, Lynch didn’t take a hard stance and come off like any trade talks involving Jones would be shut down. That’s Lynch telling any quarterback-needy team that if you are interested in his quarterback, don’t call, thinking that you’re going to get a bargain.

The NFL isn't doing the San Francisco 49ers any favors in 2026. With two international games on the schedule, the 49ers are projected to log a historic amount of travel — potentially setting the record for most miles traveled by a team in a single NFL season.

A report indicated Williams could be released if he can't reach a new deal with the 49ers.

Lynch said he doesn't anticipate trading Jones, but he expects to chat about the quarterback when general managers mingle this week.

San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch adopted a noticeably more hopeful tone Tuesday regarding Trent Williams than what reports of a possible split indicated, saying the sides are making progress in contract talks at the scouting combine.

San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch doesn't plan on trading backup quarterback Mac Jones unless he gets the right offer.

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said last month that he would be "very surprised" if Mac Jones is not with the team for the 2026 season, but the 49ers aren't going to be rejecting calls from other teams about the quarterback.

The 49ers hired former Vikings GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah to John Lynch's front office staff, strengthening San Francisco's leadership ahead of 2026.
