After an excellent rookie season, Mac Jones fell off the radar in a dramatically quick fashion. Two years later, the New England Patriots gave up on him, and he was thoroughly unimpressive as the backup quarterback for the Jacksonville Jaguars last season. However, this season has been a complete reversal of the script, as he becomes the latest signal-caller to alter his standing in the NFL.
Signing with the San Francisco 49ers as the backup to Brock Purdy this offseason, Jones was called upon early in the season to take over with Purdy suffering from a turf toe.
Through three games, he’s completely changed his perception, leading the 49ers to victories in each outing, including an unimaginable win over the Los Angeles Rams in Week 5. Here’s everything you need to know about his new contract, which is starting to look like a steal.
What Is Mac Jones’ Contract?
After a one-year stint with the Jaguars, Jones came to the 49ers in the 2025 offseason. His contract was officially finalized as a two-year deal worth $8.41 million, with $4.75 million of the total amount guaranteed to him at signing.
It was a far cry from the deals most quarterbacks in the league have, given his stature as a backup. However, for a former first-round pick, it was still a letdown from his rookie-scale deal that he signed upon entering the league.
The four-year contract with the New England Patriots that he signed in 2021 was worth $15.6 million, which was distributed between his time in New England and Jacksonville.
What Is Jones’ Salary?
The two-year deal comes out to an average annual value of $4.2 million for Jones. However, the split isn’t exact between the two years, keeping in mind the various bonuses and conditions on the deal.
As a result, his numbers equate to a base salary of $1,170,000, a signing bonus of $2,140,000, and a restructure bonus of $100,000. Combining those, he will carry a cap hit of $2,558,000, good for 49th among all quarterbacks, as he’s sandwiched between Will Levis and Drew Lock.
What Is Jones’ Net Worth?
Thanks to his two contracts in the NFL, most online sources place his net worth at close to $10 million. A starter in the league for nearly three seasons, Jones was a popular name for brands to link endorsement deals with.
However, Jones has also been an avid spender with a sprawling car collection that includes luxury models like the Range Rover Sport and the BMW i8.
