US Edition49ers GM John Lynch refuses to trade Jauan Jennings despite his request
The 49ers refuse to trade wide receiver Jauan Jennings despite his trade request and ongoing calf injury, prioritizing his health amid limited receiver depth and contract disagreement.
- John Lynch told reporters Wednesday that Jauan Jennings requested a trade earlier this offseason, but the San Francisco 49ers will not trade him.
- Jennings, entering the final year of his deal, seeks a long-term extension after leading with 77 catches, 975 yards and six TDs in 2024 but hasn't practiced since July 27, raising Week 1 uncertainty for the Sept. 7 opener.
- With receiver depth thin, the 49ers signed veteran Marquez Valdes-Scantling, plan to bring back Russell Gage, and Lynch said, "Both things can be true" about Jennings' contract and calf injury.
- Tim Kawakami reported Jennings could be placed on injured reserve, sidelining him four games; with Brandon Aiyuk out at least the first month, the 49ers urgently need Jennings healthy for early-season play.
- The team has signaled it will let Jennings play out the final year of his deal, with him scheduled to count $4.25 million this year and over $8 million in dead money remaining.
