Shanahan Downplays Jauan Jennings Trade Talk Ahead of NFL Deadline

Outside chatter stems from an expiring deal alongside reduced output despite the coach’s stance.

Overview

  • Head coach Kyle Shanahan said he would be very surprised if Jauan Jennings were not on the roster for the rest of the season.
  • Despite that, multiple reports continue to float Jennings as a trade candidate, with ESPN analysis pointing to the Giants as a logical fit.
  • Jennings has 18 catches for 212 yards and one touchdown in six games while dealing with injuries, a clear drop from his 2024 production.
  • He is set to become a free agent after the season with no extension talks reported, and the team added playtime incentives to his contract in September.
  • Context around the speculation includes a brief sideline exchange with Shanahan, Jennings revealing he played through broken ribs, and a recent deletion of his Instagram account.
