"3rd and Jauan" Jennings l WR Tennessee

FWIW advanced analytics love Jennings. ESPN Analytics had him consistently high in his career - 9th best receiver in 2024. PFF as 14th best WR in 2024.

So his agents pushing for more money is not a surprise. That Lynch was caving to any and all previous pay raise demand, did not help.

Jerry Jones said they might use their 1st for a trade. Let's trade him to Dallas for a 1st. Jerry might be dumb enough to do it...

I know, not really but I can dream, right?

Unfortunately, Jennings chose the worst possible time to put his foot down for a major extension.

First, the team extended him for around 7.5 mil a year last year, which is a general sign that the team is not going to increase his salary 3 to 4 fold moving forward even though he had a good year.

Second, the team just got out from under contracts and are wearing the dead cap his this year - this was intentional. The team is a in a mini rebuild and therefore has no intention of paying large contracts to B or C players while it gets its cap right. We don't want to end up like the Saints.

Third, Jennings is not worth 20 mil +. He is a good but not great receiver. His year was not good enough to get us 7 wins. Hell, we lost a game when he caught for over 200 yards.

Fourth, Jennings is the opportunity the team has been looking for to create new contract precedent. Each of the last few off seasons we have had A+ players demanding record setting contracts. The team clearly regrets the Aiyuk deal, and is therefore using Jenings to send a message to its above average players that it is no longer playing these hold out = massive contract games. The team cannot afford to bend to every player who has a good year otherwise the cap will be in deep trouble. It's easy to put the foot down on Jennings, despite the WR room issues right now, in part because they signed Robinson, drafted Pearsall, and have other veterans who the team likely see as at least closer to Jennings, but who cost little. This is the chance to reset their negotiation precedent that they will only pay A+ players (Purdy, Warner, Kittle).

It's not worth setting that precedent. If they want to play hardball put him on IR. Either he gets healthy real quick or he sits 4+ games when we end up getting help coming in and pushing him down the depth chart.

Well he's not playing or practicing so he's not helping in those areas. I'm thinking he would command a 7th round pick, when you look at the Deebo trade.

why trade today for a 7th, when you can let him walk in FA and get a better comp pick?

because we need the roster spot for a player that is on the field playing.

I don't play Fantasy Football but for what its worth Juan was the highest ranked 49er WR (not counting Kittle).

JJ almost pulled one over the blonde bimbo's head by telling him that he (JJ) would use some of the leftover cash to return to school (STANFORD) to get a PHD (Pimpin Hoggin n Doggin)... maybe Paraag had to step in

I don't know I don't play video games. I only know the fantasy ranking due to the fact i was at the local publix with my wife and happened to see an Athlon Sports fantasy magazine on an end cap and thought what the heck. (sorta telling my age now, I just thought his ranking might mean something for the younger ones that play the fantasy football game.)

I wonder when it was published. I should have mentioned in my last post that different outlets will have different rankings, but they're usually pretty close.

I'd be pretty hesitant to draft 49ers wide receivers this season… certainly Jennings at least at this point.
