JJ would have probably been the Super Bowl mvp. We don't want to let JJ go even after he requested a trade, JJ is a very valuable wr that can do it all and he's proven. I like the possibilities with Slick Rick, but JJ is the better wr.

JJ was never winning MVP, and he absolutely cannot do it all. Jennings is what he is, he didn't get better last year and he's probably going to get worse this year.

He was not going to be MVP, and he's far from a "do it all" WR. Jennings didn't get better last year and isn't going to get better going forward ... he is what he is. What he is is a good physical WR3.

JJ absolutely would have been SB MVP if the defense had gotten a stop on that last drive. Who else would it have been? It's not like there isn't precedent for the SB MVP to be given to a role player.

He is as of now. Until Persall proves it and he might. But on this date yes you would say Jennings is better and the best WR we have. Aiyuk is injured and recovering.

And Robinson is suspended and Watkins is injured.

As of now Pearsall is pretty universally rated significantly above Jennings on fantasy lists ... where they project production for a player. All the other WR on the roster are wild speculation.

That said, any money to Jennings won't be just for the first quarter of this season but for some number of complete seasons going forward.

With that in mind it's not at all crazy to think Jennings being called the best WR on the roster is fairly extreme.

Would if B.A or CMC would have taken this approach where would they be now? We are the most injury prone team I've ever seen.

We paid CMC, T.W, B.A, when they chose to go this route, so the precedent is already set.

CMC = star
TW = star
BA = star

JJ = good depth.

This has been the case with our receivers. Aiyuk and Deebo both underperformed their contract. Jauan's agent should have noted this fact to him before effectively sitting out this preseason.

Aiyuk hasn't underperformed his contract yet. He's making <$10M this year, and <$16M next year ... he could easily be worth that if he comes most of the way back.

You mean besides the cost, initial underperformance, injury, friction in the front office, and rewarding the 'behavior' during the negotiation that our fans clearly find so endearing?

Other than that it's gone well.

The cost is a pittance for his past performance. The big jump in his contract doesn't happen until 2027 (and I suspect he will never play under that contract that year).

The team gave him a team friendly deal after the holdout, the number is just so his agent could save face.

76 million in guarantees…placing him in the top 7-8 at his position I believe… clearly a pittance. Very team friendly, that's why the coach reportedly lost power in personnel decision making after jamming the deal through rather than allowing him to be traded.

The underperformance that wasn't actually an underperformance according to you… and then of course the value destroying injury at least for the short term but likely longer.

Honestly couldn't have gone better.

Again ... they don't pay the big money until 2027. They can cut him before 2027 and his dead money will be ~$20M. If he plays like a decent WR2 this year he's easily worth the ~$10M this year, and if he plays like the star WR1 he was next year he's easily worth the ~$15M he'll make then.

Aiyuk's cap hit this year has him outside the top 20 WRs in the NFL. He's gone 1 year since he signed and it was bad, we don't know how it will go from here.

Yes, he signed a big deal, but it's not outrageous based on his performance. At this point we shouldn't assume he won't be worth it over the next 2 seasons. Ideally we want him to be so incredibly the team keeps him past 2027 when his deal jumps over $40M per.

Your point is disconnected from the issue the team had which is overall spending and specifically cash spending. The structure of the deal in terms of cap hits isn't particularly relevant.

How much money did he receive when he signed for example? How much money was he due to receive as of April 1, 2025?

If this is the case, trade him for a 7th round pick. we can find good depth anywhere.

1. They just redid his deal
2. 20mil is a ton, and while I appreciate what he brings to the table, you can't give him that
3. I don't fault him for trying to get paid. NFL has bad rep in regards to player safety and money.
