Overview

• Jennings set a July 14 deadline to secure a new deal or formally request a trade and has publicly emphasized his pursuit of improved terms this offseason.
• League sources say several teams, particularly the Steelers, contacted San Francisco with proposals involving Calvin Austin III and a 2026 third-round pick, only to be turned away.
• Stepping up after Brandon Aiyuk’s ACL injury in 2024, Jennings recorded career highs with 77 catches, 975 yards and six touchdowns to become a key target in Kyle Shanahan’s offense.
• With a $1.17 million base salary and a $4.26 million cap hit in 2025, Jennings offers low-cost production but his extension could affect the 49ers’ long-term salary cap flexibility.
• Kyle Shanahan has labeled Jennings irreplaceable to the offense, underscoring the team’s determination to retain him as training camp approaches.
