Clearly he's talking to Glazer, his former colleague from his broadcasting days at FOX. This is Lynch's way of avoiding heat from the fan base and SF media for not adding a WR. He can now say "look we tried to make a deal and it fell through." I'd put the chances of a WR addition at 0% now. He's gonna say "we like the guys we have and we think we will get back healthy."
He looks stupid going after Jennings in the first place.

Chargers have to be sellers after this. Don't see how they keep on hoping that this season is not a lost cause. So that's one benefit for the Chargers losing.

The 49ers and Vikings recently had a trade agreement in place for Jauan Jennings to return to San Francisco, but Jennings made it clear he didn't want to go back, and the deal fell through, per @JayGlazerpic.twitter.com/NjiczT0uEs
lol according to Lombardi it was contingent on a video meeting with Jennings Lynch and Shanahan. Unclear if that meeting happened then Jennings said no thanks.
lol Jennings must be sour
1) 49ers offer Jauan Jennings more money than he has ever been offered.
2) Jauan Jennings turns down said offer.
3) Jauan Jennings test the free agent market.
4) Jauan Jenning signs with the Minnesota Vikings, for less money than what the Vikings offered, in a incentive laden deal.
5). Jauan Jennings languishes on the bench and has pretty much no chance in hitting those incentives
6) Jauan Jennings has a chance to come back to the 49ers, where he would actually be used, have an outside shot at hitting those markers, and raising his profile for when he hits free agency again in March 2027, for potentially a better contract.
7) Jauan Jennings says no.
Makes perfect sense to me.
He'd rather sit on the bench, doing nothing, and get offered a WR5 contract next spring. The saga of these 49ers receiver. I'm pretty much on board with just not paying any of them ever, unless we get Mike Evans/Jerry Rice vibes and pour money into other positions where we get more bang for our buck. We can just keep drafting receivers every year.

Well f**k you then Jennings.
I wonder if he said that to Lynch and Shanny during the supposed FaceTime meeting they were to have before completing the deal.
We offered him up to $17M and he took less with the Vikings? Seems suspect but maybe he has lots of pride.
Also if we got him it's only the the rest of this year, he most likely wouldn't return next year.
