## Resource

The San Francisco 49ers’ QB3 battle between Adrian Martinez and Kurtis Rourke could reshape their future plans — especially around Mac Jones. With Brock Purdy locked in as starter and Jones as backup, Rourke’s unexpected emergence could force the 49ers to reconsider keeping Jones past 2027, potentially leading to a trade or release before the 2024 deadline. If Rourke dazzles in camp and preseason, he might be the wildcard that alters the team’s long-term QB strategy — and Jones’ fate.
