Kawakami said the &#8216;Niners aren&#8217;t interested in doing anything.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I\u2019ve heard from the 49ers\u2019 side is they don\u2019t want to do anything,&#8221; Kawakami said. &#8220;They are negotiating. I think there have been numbers exchanged but they just redid his deal last year and that\u2019s before he got 977 yards receiving. That was before he was [the] first receiver, basically, last year when Aiyuk got hurt. That\u2019s before a lot of other things happened.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The 20th-highest paid receiver this year is slated to be Davante Adams, according to NBC Sports Bay Area, at $22 million per year.<\/p>\n<p>Jennings just signed a new contract last offseason that was worth up to $15.4 million. NBC Sports Bay Area writes that Jennings has the 42nd-highest salary among receivers.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p><b>MORE:\u00a0<\/b>Shilo Sanders teases a career change if he can&#8217;t stick in NFL<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s coming off a career year, with 77 catches for 975 yards and six TDs while spending a large portion of the year as WR1.<\/p>\n<p>The two sides are running out of time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow, at some point, you\u2019ve got to either make a deal or not, and the 49ers want him on the field in Week 1 and Jauan Jennings probably doesn\u2019t want to go on injured reserve or be deactivated or whatever could happen the next few days if he\u2019s not practicing,&#8221; Kawakami said. \u201cBut everything I\u2019ve heard is, he wants a lot and the 49ers are offering very little, I\u2019ll put it that way, if I can generalize it like that. I think we can all write in what the money terms are based on that, but it\u2019s far apart. I\u2019ve been writing this for several weeks. It\u2019s not close and it\u2019s pretty clear it\u2019s not close.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p><strong>MORE NFL NEWS:<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Could a new deal be coming in San Francisco?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":85400,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[109,18,84,1365,2845,718,3363,9,12,2783,3367,3366],"class_list":["post-85399","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl","tag-49ers","tag-brandon-aiyuk","tag-brock-purdy","tag-contract-extension","tag-davante-adams","tag-jauan-jennings","tag-marquez-valdes-scantling","tag-nfl","tag-san-francisco-49ers","tag-shilo-sanders","tag-the-san-francisco-standard","tag-tim-kawakami"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>49ers&#039;
