Jones has agreed to a two-year, $7 million contract with $5 million guaranteed, according to a source familiar with the deal who spoke to The Associated Press on Wednesday night. The contract, which has a maximum value of $11.5 million, has not yet been officially announced. NFL Network was the first to report the agreement.
Leading up to the 2021 draft, Jones was heavily linked to San Francisco after the team traded three first-round picks to acquire the No. 3 selection. Head coach Kyle Shanahan was deciding between Jones and Trey Lance before ultimately choosing Lance.
