<p>The Minnesota Vikings have all but confirmed they will add another quarterback this offseason, probably via trade or free agency. And based on the landscape of possibly available signal-callers, San Francisco 49ers QB2 Mac Jones might move the needle. Wouldn’t you know it? He sure sounded like a guy this week who would welcome a trade.</p>
<p><strong>The fit runs through Shanahan roots, a more straightforward</strong> path to snaps, and the Vikings’ need for an absolute<strong> contingency behind J.J. McCarthy.</strong></p>
<p>Jones spoke to NFL.com, explaining his desire to start again, which won’t happen in San Francisco unless Brock Purdy gets injured.</p>
<h2>Jones-to-Vikings Has Real Logic</h2>
<p>Jones chatter in the purple rumor mill won’t die anytime soon. </p>
