Ya'll got offended because BA wanted a trade. Go read the thread. How dare he do such a thing….you had people in there saying they should have given his cash to JJ "team player, he would never do that" lol

NOW he's doing the same thing. People can't separate business from football and get all bent out of shape over it.

I think he deserves better pay though he got a nice contract for where he was recently. But the season starts tomorrow(rookies) and and now he's going to ask for a trade? Nah... He has little leverage outside of holding out which hurts both sides but hurts his wallet more.

So tired of all these pay me or trade me demands. I now it's common all over the league but it gets old.

Jennings should have already been extended. He is the most important part of our passing game, and stepped up at the best WR on the team last year after Deebo and Aiyuk couldn't stop getting hurt or dropping balls.

No he isn't if you look at what he's saying from an objective viewpoint. That's the problem with that situation. You got some dumb fans who think it's all about them and the media being the media who love to stoke a fire (that's who BA is beefing with, not the team). Also who gives a rip if someone acts little like a diva? As long as it's not some lock room cancer or getting into trouble, I don't give a crap.

and saying no one wants him out is simply not true

Jennings got an extension last yr. No he's not the most important part of our passing game. He's a solid player who took advantage of his situation when he got more targets. He's avg like 330 yards a yr outside of last yr. Love JJ and would like to see him here longer than this yr….I don't see that happening and I don't see anyone offering solid compensation right now (plus paying him).

JJ stands to make a lot of money playing in this offense this year if he's as good as he thinks he is. Holding out would be disastrous for him.

Ya'll?

I'm not involved in whatever argument you have going on in your head with other folks that you seem to want to apply to this particular exchange.

I do find it odd that you immediately jumped to the conclusion you did without citing context in the whole BA fiasco.

As if those fans inclined to be offended by BA's shenanigans had no justifiable cause for their attitude.

Oh no, 49er fans are gonna hate him now.

Really, why? Why would JJ merit this manner of response? What has he done? Has he conducted himself like an a*****e to this point?

I seem to recall BA conducting himself like an a*****e a hell of a lot earlier in the process. Which made his detractor's ire justified.

These are two completely different instances.

LOL his nickname is "3rd and Juaun". He's the guy who gets it done when it matters most. He is definitely the most important part of our passing game. Even Kittle is hot and cold based on where he's needed. Jennings is the only consistent WR on the roster. I guarantee you if he leaves our offense will have issues.

Depending on how much he wants or what kind of term he wants I think you trade him. He's good but he's not worth into the 20m contracts he probably wants.

try to negotiate a short term deal at team reasonable cost. If not then let him try to go to market and negotiate (like LA did to Stafford).

49ers upper management would love to make an example out of someone to help future contract negotiations

JJ just volunteered

Exactly my thinking. He knows BA will most likely miss some time early on and he's leveraging that.

Now we all agreed he was a logical target to extended regardless because he is a good player. There is no reason not to pay him, unless its not in their long term plans, or if his demands are unrealistic? Hell, maybe they neve even approached him?

Lets how Pearsall and Cowing are ready to step up!

It's an overall statement of what happened with BA and how angry our "fans" were/are over the thought of a player requesting a trade based on the idea of using any leverage to get paid.

Well those folks that were/are outraged over what happened with BA should better be acting the same way BECAUSE that WAS the backbone of their outrage over him. It started with wanting to be moved. There's pages of debate over it.

BA acted like an ass how? He asked to be traded and used any leverage to get paid by the team that he wanted to play for end of the day. Folks take s**t too literal and think it's all about them when it's not.

they aren't different scenarios, they should be outraged over him wanting out of being a 49er…he wants to be traded, right?? you can't be that mad over one person's actions and not the others when they're doing the same stuff.

OR we can come back to earth and realize that there's a massive difference between the business side of sports and playing the game.

I have a hard time blaming JJ for shooting his shot here. He understands the state of the roster right now. The WR room is completely unproven or has question marks due to health(Aiyuk) or off the field stuff(Robinson).

However the 49ers are in a tough spot. As much as they love JJ and what he's about I doubt they expected to pay him big money to stay long term, especially when Aiyuk was signed.

Hopefully they find some middle ground and give him something that he's happy playing this year when we need him most. As someone above said, this is probably his best chance to make himself big money on the open market.

We were SO close to a problem free offseason.

Here is how I feel with sports right about now:

%3D

That said...see you on opening day.

I hope this gets worked out amicably.

JJ was our best WR last season and has been one of our most dependable WRs previous to that.

He deserves a new deal tbh
