Brock Purdy locks down San Francisco’s QB1, but the Star Quarterback’s 10,071 yards and 52 touchdowns across 45 NFL starts scream starter potential, per ESPN. His $3.6 million cap hit in 2025, the final year of his rookie deal, makes him a steal for the Saints, OverTheCap. Kyle Shanahan’s system sharpens his 62.9% completion rate, Pro Football Focus.
New Orleans, reeling from a 4-13 season, eyes a post-Carr era after his 4,169 yards but 14 interceptions in 2024, per ESPN. “Jones could thrive there,” mused Tannenbaum, Dible, Heavy, as Dennis Allen’s squad craves a mobile, accurate QB. The Star Quarterback’s 2024 stint—two starts, 65.2% completion—outshines rookie Jake Haener, Matt Maiocco, NBC Sports Bay Area.
