Jauan Jennings Landing Spots: Could Veteran WR Reunite with 49ers?
Rapoport said Jennings has just 2 catches for 9 yards in Minnesota, while San Francisco needs help at receiver after Deebo Samuel’s injury.
On Tuesday, NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport suggested Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jauan Jennings could be traded to the San Francisco 49ers, expecting trade discussions to intensify over the next couple of days.
Jennings has recorded only two catches for nine yards through five games with the Vikings, a stark contrast to his 1,618 receiving yards and 15 touchdowns across 2024 and 2025 with San Francisco.
San Francisco's receiver room faces significant setbacks, as Rapoport reported 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel suffered a 'bad' hamstring pull, leaving Mike Evans as the only receiver with more than 84 yards.
Trading Jennings would allow Minnesota to save $5.03 million in cap space, as the wideout carries a one-year contract with a $4.5 million signing bonus and $1.63 million base salary.
Trade discussions are expected to intensify before the November 10 deadline, though KNBR analyst Larry Krueger questioned whether the 49ers need Jennings, suggesting they require younger, more explosive threats instead.
