The San Francisco 49ers are expected to move on from Brandon Aiyuk this offseason. That\u2019s not the only wide receiver the team could lose by the time the NFL Draft rolls around.<\/p>\n
For the first time since entering the league in 2020, Jauan Jennings could be wearing a different uniform. Now that the 49ers\u2019 season has officially ended, Jennings is an unrestricted free agent.<\/p>\n
When pressed with questions about his future, like whether he\u2019d be OK if the 49ers placed a franchise tag on him, Jennings said he\u2019d defer to his agent. Jennings reflected on his time in the Bay Area:<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s nothing like Santa Clara. When I first moved here, I thought I was going to San Francisco, just like everybody else. You find out fast that it\u2019s Santa Clara. Now it\u2019s home. It quickly turned into home. It\u2019s a run I\u2019ll never forget, for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jennings had a contract dispute last offseason. An injury during training camp had many wondering how badly Jennings was hurt and whether his absence was more contract-related. Ultimately, Jennings received an incentive bump.<\/p>\n
Jennings rewarded the team by playing through multiple injuries and ranking second in receiving yards. Jennings finished 17th in the NFL in receiving yards on third down and ninth in first-down receptions on third down. His production on third down is a valuable skill.<\/p>\n
