Training camp opened with 49ers receiver Jauan Jennings wanted a new deal or a trade. He got neither.
With the regular season approaching, he has now gotten a sweetener.
Via Adam Schefter of ESPN.com, the 49ers have added $3 million in playing-time incentives to Jenning’s contract. The triggers have not yet been specific.
Under the two-year deal Jennings signed in 2024, he was due to make $7.4 million this year. He can now make up to $10.4 million.
Last year, Jennings had career highs in catches (77), yards (975), and touchdowns (six).
Schefter adds that Jennings rejected an offer on a multi-year contract. He remains on track to be a free agent again in 2025.
Jennings barely practiced during training camp and the preseason, due to a calf injury.
He’s listed as a starting receiver for the 49ers. San Francisco opens the regular season with a visit to the Seahawks.
