WR Jauan Jennings, SF (1 Viewer)

[Ilov80s]

Assume Ive been living under a rock. It’s just the contract situation keeping this guy’s ADP so low right? Cause if he signs seems like he’s a steal where he’s currently going.

That in combination with

- Kittle, healthy CMC, 2nd year Pearsall and expectation Aiyuk will return might put a target squeeze on him for the 2nd half of the season.
- He is a 28 year old 7th round pick so those guys don't usually get a lot of hype (and to be fair, it's not an archetype that usually rewards for fantasy)

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Why did he sign that contract in 2024 if he thought it was bad? Like I said, the ink isn't even dry yet.

No offense, but this whole boomer shakes fist old man yells at clouds why’d he sign the contract schtick is way past its expiration date.

Teams will drop players like a bad habit & NFL contracts often aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on.

It’s time everyone got on board and stopped hating on players - especially the fringe guys who’ve been great team players and are playing for less $. If they have an opportunity to get a pay raise, let em try. It’s not your money, why die on this hill?

But players get a (often large) portion of that money guaranteed. Teams don't get any production guaranteed. They could end up paying all that money for absolutely nothing, whereas the players are guaranteed to get a nice chunk of change.

Like everything, it's a trade-off.

Players: Can't quit the deal, but get a guaranteed payday even if they don't ever produce
Teams: Can't get any guaranteed production, but can get out of the deal

Sometimes it ends up working out fairly and the production matches the deal. Sometimes the team comes out ahead, and gets more production than the deal is worth. Sometimes the player comes out ahead, and ends up getting more money than they earned for their production.

I would say the latter case is probably the most common.

It seems to me a deal should be a deal and I don’t care for when players go through hysterics to complain about a deal for which they already agreed. Work on an extension with your team if you’ve got the really goods longer term or go test free agency.

Left practice today with a calf injury which aggravated him in the spring.

Injury seems legit but if I were in his shoes I'd sure be playing it extra extra safe on my return without an adjustment to my contract.

 

[Insein]

Jauan Jennings reaggravates calf. No timetable on return.

[Scoresman]

I don't know what it is about this team and injuries. It makes me wonder if it's partially a coaching staff issue.

 

[eighsse2]

calf injury which aggravated him

At least it's mutual.

Kawakami: The 49ers could place Jauan Jennings on IR if this stalemate isn't resolved soon

 

[Mitchie]

so does he have a legitimate injury or no? news is hard to decipher

 

[packdog]

so does he have a legitimate injury or no? news is hard to decipher

i think he did but recovered. but possible he didn't or it was legit earlier and he never actually aggravated it and he used it as a tactic. now the team might be using IR as a tactic. it is murky

 

[travdogg]

Kawakami: The 49ers could place Jauan Jennings on IR if this stalemate isn't resolved soon

If that happens hopefully we FINALLY get 150 target Kittle.

Pearsall ..

Pearsall ..

Considering my high ownership of both.... I'll hope for both lol.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Niners just released Robbie Chosen. I wonder if this means good news for Jennings? (Wild speculation on my part)

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

I was checking out Jennings contract and a number of this year’s $ is based on hitting certain performance metrics.

If he’s put on PUP it’s gonna be awfully difficult for Jennings to hit any of those metrics.

It also strikes me that Jennings holdout is in part based on a concern that when Aiyuk comes back, along with Kittle & Pearsall, it’s gonna be very hard to hit them anyway.

Seems like a low-hanging solution for the 49ers would be to just guarantee ~66% of his 2025 & call it a day.

 

[Faust]

Tim Kawakami
I'd be surprised if 49ers keep Jennings on the initial 53-man roster without an understanding that he'll start practicing soon.

I'd also be surprised if Jennings starts practicing without some adjustment to his contract.

In between those 2 parameters, anything could happen.

Tim Kawakami
To paraphrase Harbaugh: I'm not inside Jennings' leg. I don't know.

49ers' stance is if it's an injury that hasn't healed, they'll put him on IR and his incentives will be jeopardized.

If he wants more money to practice, that's what negotiations are for.

https://x.com/timkawakami/status/1960370003695591534?s=61

David Lombardi
Re: Jauan Jennings — the 49ers can maintain their IR card even if he makes the 53-man roster today. In fact, that'd be a logical course of action since SF would need to preserve Jennings' eligibility to return. There might be more pressure Wednesday to make an IR decision, when waiver claims come through and the 49ers may need roster spots to fill new players

Kyle Shanahan: We have to ease Jauan Jennings back, but he's healthy enough to play

New money added per sleeper
Not an extension

Adam Schefter
Another pre-Sunday deal: the 49ers and Jauan Jennings reached agreement on a deal that will add $3 million in play-time incentives to the wide receiver’s contract, per his agents Drew and Jason Rosenhaus. Now, instead of earning $7.5 million this season, Jennings can earn up to $10.5 million.

That’s what I’ve been saying they should do! Yes! Giddyup for week 1!

 

[RaidersAreOne]

$10.5 still seems light for JJ considering his performance last year. But great for the 49ers and fantasy owners to have this cleared up. Hopefully he gets fully healthy shortly.

 

[gbill2004]

He's going to be ultra motivated this season. One, to get his $3 million in bonuses and two, he's a free agent after this season and will want to cash in. Dude is a fantasy WR1 at WR4 price.

 

[RaidersAreOne]

Sounds like Jennings really banged up his shoulder and was in a lot of pain. Is Pearsall the only potential healthy WR left?

 

[msudaisy26]

Probably, but I am not sure I want any part of this offense other than CMC until Kittle is back. They looked lost after he left the game.

Time for a Sky Moore rebound

[Wingnut]

Kyle Shanahan said initial test.om Jennings shoulder looked OK but still more to come (CT scan)

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

They looked lost after he left the game.

Purdy looked great on that last drive. He’s still worth starting.

 

[Gally]

Purdy looked great on that last drive. He’s still worth starting.

I would say Pearsall probably gets a bump too.

 

[Wingnut]

Kyle Shanahan said WR Jauan Jennings’ shoulder checked out “good” on the MRI examination. They are awaiting the results of the CT scan. He also said Jenning does have a chance to play in week 2.

 

[msudaisy26]

They looked lost after he left the game.

Purdy looked great on that last drive. He’s still worth starting.

They looked good on the first drive and then not a lot until the last drive it was just the first week, but losing Kittle for a few weeks isn't helping.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

They looked good on the first drive and then not a lot until the last drive it was just the first week, but losing Kittle for a few weeks isn't helping.

Now seeing Purdy hurt is toe & shoulder. Yikes.

I was just about to post that. CMC might set a record for most touches in a year if he can hold up.

Jauan Jennings returned to #49ers practice. Perhaps you could say he’s a slam dunk to play Sunday.

Jeff Mueller
Jauan Jennings -

Still seems to be guarding/protecting his left arm. Doesn’t swing as much as his right, keeping it braced near his side.
Gut says that he won’t play Wk2, but if he does I’d prefer to keep him on the bench in fantasy.

Oh jeez. SF beat writers have about the most dissension of all other teams.

 

[Faust]

Adam Schefter
49ers WR Jauan Jennings, listed as questionable for Sunday due to a shoulder injury, is expected to play vs. the Saints, per source.

49ers LT Trent Williams, listed as questionable for Sunday due to a knee injury, will test his knee in pre-game warmups to see if he can play. If he can’t, Spencer Burford would replace Williams at left tackle.
