US EditionJauan Jennings: ‘I Love Money’ as He Returns From Injury with $3M Incentive Boost
Jauan Jennings declined a multiyear deal, opting for a $3 million play-time incentive addition to his $7.5 million contract, potentially reaching $10.5 million in 2025.
- Reported Wednesday night by ESPN's Adam Schefter, the 49ers and Jauan Jennings added $3 million in play-time incentives to his 2025 contract, raising his potential earnings to $10.5 million.
- Jennings earlier sought a trade but the San Francisco 49ers said they had moved past that, and he turned down a multiyear offer, remaining set to become an unrestricted free agent after the season.
- After returning to practice Monday, Jauan Jennings, recovering from a calf injury, is "good to go" and expected to play in Sunday's season opener at Seattle Seahawks.
- Meanwhile, the 49ers adjusted the receiver group by signing Marquez Valdes-Scantling to the active roster and re-signing Russell Gage Jr. to the practice squad, impacting pay with $1.17 million veteran and $315,000 practice squad minimum salaries.
- Looking ahead, Shanahan said the team still hopes to sign Jauan Jennings long-term, valuing his 77 receptions, 975 yards and six touchdowns amid key receiver absences.
