Report: Mac Jones Could Be Traded to Dolphins, Provide Competition for Tagovailoa

BOSTON, MA – Former New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones, currently backing up Brock Purdy on the San Francisco 49ers, is reportedly drawing trade interest from multiple teams, including the Miami Dolphins. This speculation arises amid Jones’ solid performance as a backup, where he has thrown for 2,151 yards and 13 touchdowns in 9 games started. With one year remaining on his $8.4 million contract, the 49ers could capitalize on Jones’ renewed value.

According to a USA Today article, the Dolphins could be a potential suitor seeking to provide competition for current quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. The article points out that Tagovailoa’s contract makes him difficult to move, leaving the Dolphins to seek viable contenders for the QB1 spot. Jones’ previous experience in the AFC East with the Patriots makes him a valuable asset to the Dolphins, given his familiarity with division rivals like the Buffalo Bills and the New York Jets.

“Jones would be a nice competition for Tagovailoa, and since he played in the AFC East for three seasons with New England, he knows what it takes to play the Buffalo Bills and New York Jets,” wrote Jacob Camenker in USA Today.

While the Dolphins are a highlighted possibility, the article suggests Jones will likely have a robust trade market this offseason, with several teams in need of quarterback upgrades. The 2025 season could see Jones back in a starting role, offering a fresh start after a challenging tenure in New England.
