Niners Nation on Jauan Jennings
From the article
The 49ers, who traded for DeForest Buckner, also had trade terms worked out for Jauan Jennings, their former receiver, with the Vikings. But it was contingent on him hopping on a FaceTime with Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch and saying, 'OK, yeah, I wanna come back.' But he didn't. He actually said, no, I wanna stay here in Minnesota.
STACKED’s take
Jennings nixed 49ers trade, staying with Vikings; limited passing-game role.
Jennings rejected a trade back to the 49ers despite San Francisco and Minnesota having terms agreed; the deal was contingent on Jennings accepting via FaceTime with Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch, but he declined, preferring to stay with the Vikings. He has been targeted twice this past week with two catches for 11 yards, bringing his season total to four receptions for 43 yards. As a receiver, Jennings is a big-bodied, gritty blocker trusted on third and medium, but everything shrinks from a passing-game perspective when he's on the field. He got into a heated argument with Shanahan on the sideline in the first half of 2025 and had an incident with Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell, showing he wears his emotions on his sleeve.
