## Resource

The 49ers’ QB depth chart is stacked with Brock Purdy as starter, Mac Jones as backup, and Adrian Martinez and Kurtis Rourke behind them — a crucial safety net after last season’s injuries. While trade rumors swirl, GM John Lynch is holding firm, insisting Jones’ value as a reliable backup and team player outweighs any potential return. Analysts say trading him only makes sense if a team offers a solid second-round pick now — better than a conditional third next year. Keeping Jones is the smart play: he’s proven, he’s dependable, and he’s the insurance the 49ers need. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
