49ers Reject Jauan Jennings' Trade Request as He Seeks $20 Million-Plus Extension

A lingering calf injury has kept him out of practice, putting Week 1 in doubt.

Overview

  • Tim Kawakami reports Jennings is targeting a salary north of $20 million per year that would place him in the top-20 receiver tier.
  • General manager John Lynch confirmed Jennings asked for a trade and said the team is not pursuing one.
  • Talks are described as not close, with the club resistant after reworking his deal in 2024 and Jennings now entering the final year of that contract.
  • Jennings has missed most of training camp with a calf issue, and Lynch said it is unclear if he will be available for the opener.
  • San Francisco’s receiver group is depleted with Brandon Aiyuk on the PUP list and Demarcus Robinson suspended, and the team has added short-term depth with Skyy Moore and Marquez Valdes-Scantling.
