Former San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings is signing a one-year deal worth up to $13 million to join the Minnesota Vikings, his agent told Adam Schefter. Jennings’ new base salary will be $8 million.
One of the top free-agent wide receivers this offseason, Jauan Jennings had 55 receptions for 643 yards and a career-high nine touchdowns in 15 games with the 49ers last season. The 28-year-old previously set career highs with 77 receptions and 975 yards in 2024.
The 49ers weren’t able to re-sign Jennings this year, so decided to pivot instead. The made deals inking Mike Evans and Christian Kirk, along with drafting De’Zhaun Stribling in the second round to reshape their WR depth chart.
Jennings, a physical pass-catcher who also stands out as a good run blocker, will give the Vikings a strong option at wide receiver, as he’ll line up alongside 2022 Offensive Player of the Year Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. Minnesota also relies on two-time Pro Bowl tight end T.J. Hockenson.
