Overview
- Jauan Jennings agreed Thursday to join Minnesota on a one-year contract that has an $8 million base and can reach $13 million with incentives, according to reports from ESPN and NFL Network.
- He slots in as the Vikings’ No. 3 receiver behind Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison after Jalen Nailor left in free agency, giving the team a deeper target group for Kyler Murray or J.J. McCarthy.
- The signing came after the NFL’s compensatory-pick window closed, so neither Minnesota nor San Francisco will see the move affect their future comp selections.
- Jennings, a 2020 seventh-round pick who broke out in San Francisco, posted 77 catches for 975 yards in 2024 and 55 for 643 with a career-high nine touchdowns in 2025, with PFF crediting him with 18 contested grabs last season.
- The short-term pact follows a lengthy market wait and a recent visit to Minnesota, with the 49ers having reshaped their receiver room by adding veterans Mike Evans and Christian Kirk and drafting De’Zhaun Stribling.
