Lamar Jackson injury conundrum suddenly puts 49ers’ Mac Jones back into spotlight

Niner Noise argues that San Francisco 49ers backup quarterback Mac Jones could suddenly generate a trade market ahead of the NFL trade deadline. Recent injuries to starting quarterbacks, notably Baltimore Ravens passer Lamar Jackson suffering a thumb injury that placed him on injured reserve, have disrupted the league landscape alongside Tyler Huntley's injury and Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts being sidelined for the season.

Writer Peter Panacy suggests the 49ers might leverage interest from the 4-4 Ravens and the Eagles to potentially spark a bidding war for Jones. However, Panacy notes San Francisco is unlikely to accept a late-round draft pick given the prospect of receiving a future compensatory pick if Jones leaves in free agency.
