Kyle Shanahan has been involved in a host of contract negotiations with star players during his tenure as 49ers head coach. In recent years, several of them have involved players staying away from the team amid a stand-off with the organization.
As yet, there has seemingly been no progress in talks between San Francisco and wide receiver Jauan Jennings as he seeks an extension on the two-year contract last year after a breakout season in 2024.
Jennings, though is taking a different route to the likes of Brandon Aiyuk, Nick Bosa and Trent Williams.
The former seventh-round pick was at practice for the start of 49ers training camp on Wednesday and, while Shanahan was keen to insist he did not wish to critique players from their decision-making in previous years in terms of contract discussions, San Francisco’s head coach was complimentary of Jennings’ actions in reporting to the facility.
