Nonetheless, his future had been uncertain amid his desire for a new contract, leading to a trade request. On July 14, <\/span>ESPN\u2019s Adam Schefter reported <span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, citing sources, that Jennings wanted a new contract or a trade as he\u2019s set to make $7.5 million in the final year of his deal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Setting aside the calf injury, SI\u2019s Grant Cohn criticized Jennings for his unsuccessful push for a new contract or a trade away from the Bay Area.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cIf he just held out for all the training camp and got nothing and just returned like nothing happened, that would be really, really embarrassing,\u201d <\/span>Cohn said in a video reaction <span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> outside 49ers practice. \u201cIt\u2019s like, give Brandon Aiyuk some credit. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cAt least that dude knew exactly what he was worth, stuck to his guns, and got what he wanted. Jauan Jennings, he reportedly was asking for $25 million a year, stuck to his guns for a month, and then came back like he was just on vacation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>How Much Was Jauan Jennings Reportedly Asking For?<\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Jennings could have missed training camp and the preseason because of a calf injury, but reports indicate he wanted a new contract. However, the reported salary demand to the 49ers appeared to be too rich for the organization, as the SF Standard\u2019s Tim Kawakami recently revealed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cWhat you hear, not from the camp, but from NFL circles, is that it\u2019s high,\u201d Kawakami said on\u00a0<\/span>95.7 The Game\u2019s \u201cWillard and Dibs\u201d <span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0on August 28. \u201cIt\u2019s above [$20 million per year], is what I\u2019ve heard <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">and<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> maybe a lot above [$20 million] a year, to put him in the top 20 or so of receivers, in that realm. 49ers have done it before with Brandon Aiyuk, so there is precedent for lifting a guy way up in the higher ranks of the receivers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cWhat I\u2019ve heard from the 49ers\u2019 side is they don\u2019t want to do anything. 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<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">49ers\u2019 John Lynch Had No Desire to Trade Jauan Jennings <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Despite his request, the 49ers stood firm, and Jennings now looks set to start the season. In an August 27 article, <\/span>ESPN\u2019s Nick Wagoner reported <span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> that general manager John Lynch said Jennings requested a trade \u201ca while ago,\u201d but San Francisco declined and <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">have<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> no plans to grant it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cHe asked for it and we\u2019ve moved on,\u201d Lynch said. \u201cWe\u2019re not doing that. So, we\u2019re moving forward.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>With all the mystery surrounding Jennings, the 49ers can now move on, relying on him to start the 2025 season strong.<\/p>\n<p>Eduardo Razo Eduardo Razo is a sports journalist covering the NFL for Heavy.com.
