0:00.0	Good morning and welcome to 49ers in 5, your daily update on everything happening with the team that you need to know.
0:13.6	I'm Rob Stats Guerrera. Today is Tuesday, February 24, 26. Here's what's happening with your San Francisco 49ers. We told you the Mac
0:23.0	Jones rumors would start percolating once the NFL world assembled in Indianapolis, and it didn't
0:28.0	take long. Vic Tafor of the athletic writes that with a weak free agency class and a down
0:34.0	year for quarterbacks in the draft, the 49ers are expecting, quote, big offers,
0:39.2	and quote, for Mack Jones. Tafer specifically lists the Vikings as one possible candidate,
0:44.4	which, of course, makes sense, considering J.J. McCarthy's up and down play to start his career.
0:49.0	One thing that will help the Niners, the national media talking up Mac Jones, which is exactly what

1:17.1	Second year falls off.
1:20.4	Then whatever the heck happened with him in Belichick,
1:24.6	he needed to go to Camp Peterson down in Jacksonville.
1:27.0	And now he's in Camp Shanahan.
1:30.5	And you saw what he looked like when he got the shot for a month. He's actually in the Shanahan system that everybody credits for Sam Donald's
1:39.1	reset. And Brock Purdy was not available for some time this year and Matt Jones kept the Niners so
1:48.3	afloat, they almost won the one seed.
1:51.8	The truth of the matter is this. Owners listen to big voices and Rich Eisen has one of the biggest
1:57.8	in the industry. This is exactly what the 49ers need.
