The post 49ers rumors: San Francisco less than eager to extend Jauan Jennings<\/a> appeared first on ClutchPoints<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The San Francisco 49ers<\/a> are entering the 2025 season with uncertainty surrounding wide receiver Jauan Jennings\u2019 contract situation<\/a>. Jennings, 28, is entering the final year of a two-year, $15.4 million extension he signed in May 2024.<\/p>\n

After an impressive 2024 season with 77 catches, 975 yards, and six touchdowns in 15 games, the wide receiver\u2019s push for a new contract or trade has put him at odds with the team.<\/p>\n

Jennings requested either a trade or a new deal prior to the start of training camp. However, he has not practiced since July 27 due to a calf injury<\/a>. Head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed the absence is injury-related and not connected to holding out for a contract.<\/p>\n

According to Tim Kawakami of The San Francisco Standard, the 49ers are hesitant to grant Jennings a new deal so soon<\/a> after he signed his previous extension.<\/p>\n

\u201cI checked around, and my understanding is that the 49ers feel that the timing is all wrong,\u201d Kawakami wrote. \u201cThey don\u2019t want to give Jennings a big new deal so soon after he signed the last one, a year after giving Brandon Aiyuk a huge contract that the 49ers\u2019 money people almost instantly regretted, and months after signing Brock Purdy to a $265 million deal.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve heard that the two sides are not close on a new agreement, which shouldn\u2019t be a surprise after the 49ers\u2019 rounds of cost-cutting last spring set up their new deals with [Brock] Purdy, Fred Warner, and George Kittle. Beyond that, the 49ers have clearly indicated that there isn\u2019t much more money to pay out, and certainly not at wide receiver, with Aiyuk\u2019s $30 million a year deal already on the books.\u201d<\/p>\n

John Lynch, the team\u2019s general manager, has maintained a positive stance on Jennings and has also said that the team is keeping contract negotiations private.<\/p>\n

Jennings\u2019 career totals currently stand at 155 receptions for 1,938 yards and 13 touchdowns. Though the 49ers don\u2019t anticipate him missing any regular-season games, injuries and a thin wide receiver group are causing some tension in the room.<\/p>\n

Aiyuk remains on the physically unable to perform list following a season-ending knee injury in Week 7 of 2024. Rookie Jordan Watkins is out with a high ankle sprain and will miss at least one month of action.<\/p>\n

Jacob Cowing has returned to practice, but the depth chart remains thin, with Ricky Pearsall and George Kittle expected to shoulder much of the passing workload.<\/p>\n
