• Vikings' Jauan Jennings: Inks deal with Minnesota

  05/08/2026 • By RotoWire

  Jennings and the Vikings agreed on a one-year, $13 million contract Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Jennings will head to Minnesota after spending the first six years of his NFL career with the 49ers, five of which were as a member of the team's active roster. The wide receiver most recently caught 55 of 90 targets for 643 yards and a career-high nine touchdowns over 15 regular-season games in 2025. He now will join a Vikings roster that has a pair of top players in Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison as anchors in the WR room, but Jennings' presence will give the team a formidable trio at the position.

• Jauan Jennings: Visiting with Minnesota

  04/28/2026 • By RotoWire

  Jennings is visiting with the Vikings on Tuesday and Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Now that the NFL Draft has passed, signings no longer count toward the compensatory formula for 2027. That should lead to a flurry of activity around the league for its remaining big-name free agents, as Jennings hadn't drawn much interest on the open market until now. The 28-year-old had a productive five seasons in San Francisco, amassing 210 catches for 2,581 yards and 22 touchdowns as a trusted third-down and red-zone weapon. He'd be a potential upgrade on Jalen Nailor, who's now with the Raiders, as the Vikings' No. 3 wideout behind Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison.

• 49ers' Jauan Jennings: Quiet to close campaign

  01/18/2026 • By RotoWire

  Jennings recorded two receptions on five targets for 39 yards in Saturday's divisional-round loss to the Seahawks. Jennings was predictably one of Brock Purdy's favorite targets, though his stat line reflects San Francisco's inability to move the ball effectively in the loss. He did account for the team's longest play from scrimmage on a 19-yard catch and run to begin the second half, but he also had a key drop late in the third quarter on third down. While Jennings' season didn't end positively, he tallied a career-high nine touchdowns across 15 regular-season games.

• 49ers' Jauan Jennings: Throws TD pass in odd stat line

  01/12/2026 • By RotoWire

  Jennings had one reception on three targets for 45 yards and completed his only pass attempt for a 29-yard touchdown in Sunday's 23-19 wild-card game win over the Eagles. Jennings had an unusual stat line after finishing with his lowest target and reception total since Week 6 of the regular season, while also grabbing his longest reception of 2025 and throwing a touchdown pass to boot. It wasn't the first time that the veteran wideout was asked to throw a pass in his career, as the 49ers ran a similar trick play in 2023 that resulted in a 21-yard touchdown. The 27-year-old's target share was concerning in the wild-card round, but his usage figures to balloon in the divisional round after TE George Kittle (Achilles) had to be carted off the field Sunday. WR Ricky Pearsall missed the game due to a knee injury, and his status remains in question for next week's showdown against the Seahawks, so Jennings could really be in store for a heavy workload in the divisional round if his fellow starter remains sidelined.

• 49ers' Jauan Jennings: Disappointing Week 18 performance

  01/04/2026 • By RotoWire

  Jennings recorded four receptions on six targets for 35 yards in Saturday's 13-3 loss to the Seahawks. The 49ers' offense never got on track, meaning none of their skill-position players managed a notable performance. Positively, Jennings did maintain a key role, finishing third on the team with six targets. His most impactful play was a 16-yard reception early in the fourth quarter that got San Francisco into the red zone. Overall, Jennings couldn't replicate his 2024 season, but he still ended the regular season with 55 receptions for 643 yards and nine scores across 15 contests.
