Report: Vikings Agree to Terms with Receiver Jaquan Jennings
The deal gives Minnesota a proven third option behind Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison after Jalen Nailor left in free agency.
- On Thursday, the Minnesota Vikings signed free agent wide receiver Jauan Jennings to a one-year contract worth up to $13 million. The move bolsters the team's receiving corps ahead of the 2026 season.
- Minnesota sought a reliable No. 3 receiver after Jalen Nailor signed a three-year, $35 million contract with the Las Vegas Raiders last month. The team lacked depth behind starters Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison.
- Jennings, 28, spent five seasons with the San Francisco 49ers recording 210 receptions and 22 touchdowns. Known as "Third and Jauan" for his clutch third-down conversions, he offers experience that young prospect Tai Felton currently lacks.
- Agent Drew Rosenhaus confirmed the contract includes an $8 million base salary with incentives reaching $13 million. The 6-foot-3 receiver will serve as the X-receiver, complementing tight end T.J. Hockenson and running back Aaron Jones.
- This addition aims to improve a passing offense that ranked 29th in the NFL last season. With Jennings now in the rotation, the Vikings hope to maximize offensive potential alongside star receivers Jefferson and Addison throughout 2026.
