Last offseason, wide receiver Jauan Jennings demanded the San Francisco 49ers either give him a contract extension or trade him.
The Niners did neither, instead opting to revise the final year of his current deal with incentives rather than grant him one of his two wishes.
This stemmed from San Francisco's newfound hardline attitude toward player contracts, particularly in the wake of ugly negotiations with both now-Washington Commanders wideout Deebo Samuel and then the now-AWOL Brandon Aiyuk.
Considering the 49ers spent big money on both Samuel and Aiyuk, and then also inked both tight end George Kittle and quarterback Brock Purdy to hefty extensions, it sure seemed as if Jennings would be the odd man out and would find himself hitting the open market when his contract expired in 2026.
