The San Francisco 49ers are looking to lock up their best receiving talent ahead of next season and, to that effect, have signed restricted free-agent wide receiver Jauan Jennings to a two-year contract.

Jennings, who has solidified himself as the team’s third-best receiving option over the past few seasons, will stay put until after the 2025 NFL season.

The pass-catcher did not sign his restricted free-agent tender, which would have counted as a one-year extension, and has now secured a two-year deal with the reigning NFC champions.

Jennings’ agents, Drew and Jason Rosenhaus, told ESPN’s Adam Schefter that the deal is worth up to $15.4 million, with $10.5 million.

The player hadn’t been participating in organized team activities because he wasn’t technically under contract, but he was working on a deal with the team.

San Francisco placed the second-round tender on Jennings in March, which left him free to shop around for a new deal but would leave them with the right to match any outside offer or receive a second-round pick from another team whose offer they did not match.

 

Jennings never signed the tender so he didn’t fall in for OTAs. However, he was on the field while the team to spoke to the media on Wednesday.

Jauan Down, Two To Go For The San Francisco 49ers

While the San Francisco 49ers have locked down a key receiver, they have more important business to undertake as their other receivers, Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk, remain priorities.

Locking Jennings in does offer them some protection in case they can’t extend both stars, but they would like to keep their receiver room the same, at least for the upcoming season.

Meanwhile, Aiyuk is locked in negotiations with the team and is said to want a sum matching what Amon-Ra St. Brown got from the Detroit Lions. He hasn’t joined the Niners for OTAs.

49ers Superstar Nick Bosa Throws Ruthless Jab At PGA Star Scottie Scheffler Following His Arrest

When PGA star Scottie Scheffler got himself arrested earlier this month, the situation went exceptionally viral and garnered comments from just about everywhere from every corner of the country. Now that includes Nick Bosa.

Defensive end Nick Bosa claims that quarterback Brock Purdy of the San Francisco 49ers and world-class golfer Scottie Scheffler have a lot in common.

Speaking to the media, Bosa praised Purdy and his leadership qualities, which helped the 49ers win the NFC Championship and the Super Bowl in consecutive February.

“I think he’s definitely getting a little more vocal within the building. I don’t think he’s ever going to change. I don’t think he’s somebody that’s going to change even when he gets paid next year. He’s a man of faith. He kind of reminds me of Scottie Scheffler — except for he didn’t get arrested,” Bosa joked at team OTAs on Wednesday about Purdy. “Just super humble, really good kid, and he’s definitely famous.”

Naturally, the witty allusion was directed towards the recent arrest of PGA Tour player Scottie Scheffler at the PGA Championship. After a traffic incident in which he is said to have knocked an officer to the ground after dragging him with his SUV, Scheffler was charged with many offenses; however, his attorney disputes this.

Bosa’s lighthearted comment emphasized his profuse admiration for Purdy’s unwavering demeanor and character, qualities that have struck a chord with teammates despite the 24-year-old’s relative lack of NFL experience.

The 49ers saw significant benefits from Purdy’s quick development in 2023. After Jimmy Garoppolo’s injury forced him into the starting lineup, the former “Mr. Irrelevant” draftee responded by shattering multiple team passing records.

Along with setting a record for the most passing yards in a season with 4,280, he also led the NFL in passer rating with 113.0 and touchdown passes with 31. Purdy also had the best touchdown percentage in football, with 7.0 and 9.6 yards per attempt.

PGA Tour golfer and defending Masters champion Scottie Scheffler is currently scheduled to appear in court on June 3.

Prosecutors involved in the case are planning to publicly address the charges against the golfer on Wednesday, which is likely a possible sign that the situation could be coming to a close with the charges being dismissed.

Attorney Steve Romines will represent the golfer, who will not be on hand, according to WDRB.

Scheffler was arrested and charged with second-degree assault of a police officer, third-degree criminal mischief, reckless driving, and disregarding signals from an officer directing traffic.
