The San Francisco 49ers have solidified their receiving corps by signing Jauan Jennings to a two-year contract extension through the 2025 season. This deal, valued at up to $15.4 million with $10.5 million guaranteed, underscores the team’s commitment to retaining Jennings’ talents.
Since being drafted in the seventh round in 2020, Jennings has evolved into a reliable third receiver for the 49ers. Over three seasons, he has amassed 78 receptions for 963 yards and seven touchdowns. His impact extends beyond statistics; Jennings is renowned for his physicality and blocking prowess, contributing significantly to the team’s offensive dynamics.
Jennings’ standout performance in Super Bowl LVIII, where he recorded a receiving touchdown and threw a 21-yard touchdown pass, highlights his versatility and clutch playmaking abilities.
Teammates and coaches alike have lauded Jennings for his unique skill set and tenacity. Tight end George Kittle remarked, “I think every single person in the NFL that watches tape… they look at Jauan’s film and they’re like, ‘Holy cow, this guy is one of one.'”
With this extension, the 49ers not only secure a dependable receiver but also reinforce their offensive stability as they continue to pursue championship aspirations.
