ESPN’s Aaron Schatz wrote an article where he predicted one free agent to sign with each of the 32 teams. For the Seattle Seahawks, he predicted wide receiver Jauan Jennings to sign with the Super Bowl champions. Below is what he wrote regarding this pairing:
“The signing would achieve a couple of goals for the Seahawks. It would give them a receiver to replace Rashid Shaheed if he leaves in free agency. Furthermore, Jennings is a strong run blocker and the Seahawks still want to be a run-first offense.
“New offenisve coordinator Brian Fleury is familiar with Jennings from his time in San Francisco, and adding Jennings would bring the benefit of taking away from an important division rival. Jennings had nine touchdowns last season but was even better in 2024, when he ranked 12th in ESPN’s receiver scores.”
Jennings had a solid season with the 49ers as he had 55 catches on 90 targets for 643 yards (11.7 yards per reception) with a career-high nine touchdown receptions. This will be interesting, as Jennings would be the Seattle Seahawks, replacing Rashid Shaheed, who is a free agent himself. Seeing him paired with Jaxon Smith-Njigba would certainly be intriguing as the team looks to repeat as champions.
