49ers Refuse Jauan Jennings Trade Request as Contract Standoff Deepens
GM John Lynch cites the receiver’s calf setback, leaving his Week 1 status in doubt.
Overview
- John Lynch confirmed Jauan Jennings asked for a trade and said the 49ers will not move him.
- Jennings is seeking a new deal reportedly above $20 million per year, with talks described as not close.
- The wideout has not practiced since July 27 due to a calf injury that Lynch said was worse than first believed.
- San Francisco’s receiver group remains thin with Brandon Aiyuk on the PUP list and Demarcus Robinson suspended, and Kendrick Bourne visited the team this week.
- Jennings is entering the final season of a two-year, $15 million contract, and the front office has shown little willingness to meet his price.
