San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings could potentially ask for a trade in the wake of his breakout 2024 season.
Jennings is seeking a new contract ahead of training camp, [ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported](https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/45738954/sources-49ers-jauan-jennings-wants-new-deal-trade) on Monday. The 28-year-old is set to make $7.5 million in the final year of his deal this season, and he wants an extension.
If Jennings and the 49ers cannot come to an agreement on a new contract prior to the start of training camp next week, the receiver is planning to seek a trade. Schefter reports that the two sides have made very little progress in negotiations.
Jennings is not expected to hold out from training camp even without a new deal, but the 49ers would have a disgruntled wideout on their hands for the second consecutive offseason. Brandon Aiyuk skipped much of the team’s offseason a year ago as he sought a new contract.
The 49ers believe they have treated Jennings fairly after they signed him to a new two-year deal worth up to $15.4 million last year, according to Schefter.
Jennings posted career-high numbers almost across the board in 2024 with 77 catches for 975 yards and 6 touchdowns. He had only one drop.
The 49ers have [handed out massive contract extensions to several of their top players](https://larrybrownsports.com/football/49ers-fred-warner-contract-extension/698472) over the past year, so they may be hesitant to pay Jennings before they have to. That could lead to a tense situation in the coming weeks.
