Jennings Reports to 49ers Camp Amid Contract Discussions, GM Lynch Says
SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS ORGANIZATION, JUL 22 – Jauan Jennings leads a depleted 49ers wide receiver group amid injuries and trades, seeking a contract extension while the team faces salary cap limits, sources say.
- On Tuesday, Jauan Jennings reported to camp before the deadline, passed a physical, underscoring his leverage in the final year of his contract.
- Following cap commitments to Aiyuk and Brock Purdy, the 49ers face limited resources for Jennings, as Richard Sherman noted Jennings was pushed down the depth chart behind Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel, the latter traded to Washington, while cap constraints limit extension funds.
- After a Monday tryout, the 49ers signed Equanimeous St. Brown to bolster depth, as second-year receiver Ricky Pearsall is sidelined by a hamstring injury and Brandon Aiyuk’s rehab has no return timetable.
- Despite Jennings’ leverage, a trade is deemed `unlikely`, Coach Shanahan said he hasn’t asked for one, and his performance underscores his value amid a thin receiver corps.
- With training camp underway, decisions in the coming days will shape the 49ers’ offense, resolving Jennings’ dispute is key to avoiding another distraction and Shanahan wants extensions done before the season.
