49ers Add $3 Million in Incentives to Jauan Jennings’ 2025 Deal, Lifting Potential Pay to $10.5 Million

The move is a short-term compromise keeping his path to 2026 free agency intact.

Overview

  • Agents Drew and Jason Rosenhaus confirmed the play-time incentives, which were first reported by ESPN.
  • Jennings declined a multi-year offer and chose the incentive-heavy structure, leaving him on track for unrestricted free agency in 2026.
  • General manager John Lynch said the team will continue working toward a long-term extension beyond this short-term adjustment.
  • After missing most of training camp with a calf injury, Jennings returned as a limited participant and is expected to play Sunday at Seattle, according to Kyle Shanahan.
  • The agreement follows his 2024 breakout season and a summer trade request that the 49ers refused.
