Recently released starting quarterback could be pursued by the 49ers

The San Francisco 49ers might explore adding a recently released starting quarterback as they continue to solidify their roster. Despite Brock Purdy’s impressive performance as the team’s current starter, there is room for the team to enhance depth and competition in the quarterback position. Purdy has been reliable, but injuries and the demands of a long season make experienced backups essential【5】【7】.

One notable candidate is Daniel Jones, the New York Giants’ former starter, who could be released due to his inconsistent performances and the Giants’ financial flexibility to move on. Jones has shown flashes of potential and could thrive in a system like Kyle Shanahan’s, which emphasizes precision and decision-making【6】.

Another option could be Zach Wilson, whose future with the New York Jets remains uncertain. While Wilson has struggled, he is a young talent who could benefit from a change of scenery and mentorship within the 49ers’ quarterback-friendly environment【7】.

Currently, the 49ers have added Josh Dobbs as a backup to Purdy, alongside Brandon Allen. However, a more established veteran like Jones or another high-potential option could bolster their depth chart significantly as they aim to contend in a highly competitive NFC【7】.
