Jennings Sets Training Camp Deadline for Extension or Trade

Jennings will ask for a trade if no new deal is in place by training camp after contract talks stalled

Overview

  • Jennings, set to earn $7.5 million this season, has given the 49ers until next Tuesday’s camp reporting date to agree to an extension or face a trade request
  • He posted career highs last year with 77 receptions, 975 yards and six touchdowns, strengthening his leverage
  • The 49ers have over $45 million in cap space despite major commitments to Brock Purdy, George Kittle and Fred Warner that restrict their flexibility
  • This is the second straight summer a 49ers receiver has pressed for a new deal or trade, following Brandon Aiyuk’s similar standoff last year
  • Expected to attend camp without holding out, Jennings has warned he will be unhappy if no resolution is reached before players report
