Overview

  • Jennings has formally asked San Francisco for a new long-term deal and has made clear he’ll pursue a trade if no agreement emerges by camp’s July 22 start, with talks so far stalled.
  • The 28-year-old receiver is in the final year of a two-year, $15.4 million extension and is set to earn $7.5 million in 2025 with a $4.258 million cap hit.
  • San Francisco’s salary cap flexibility is limited after this offseason’s blockbuster extensions for Brock Purdy, Fred Warner, George Kittle and Brandon Aiyuk.
  • Jennings built his leverage on a breakout 2024 campaign—77 catches, 975 yards and six touchdowns—and has been praised by coach Kyle Shanahan as one of the NFL’s top blocking receivers.
  • This is the second straight summer a key 49ers wideout has used trade threats to press for a payday, echoing Brandon Aiyuk’s contract standoff last year.
