49ers Insider Has Clear Message on Jauan Jennings Trade Speculation

NBC Sports Bay Area's Jennifer Lee Chan dismissed trade speculation regarding Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jauan Jennings returning to the San Francisco 49ers. Despite recording only two catches for nine yards across four games, Jennings has played 74% of Minnesota's offensive snaps. Lee Chan explained that the Vikings rely heavily on his blocking amid multiple offensive injuries.

Lee Chan also stated that Minnesota's signing of Odell Beckham Jr. does not necessarily signal that Jennings is available for trade. Separately, KNBR analyst Larry Krueger expressed skepticism about a potential deal, arguing that San Francisco should not give up a third-round pick for Jennings and would be better served targeting younger receivers.
