It’s not just a calf strain, it’s a standoff. That’s how insider Grant Cohn describes Jauan Jennings ’ absence from the 49ers . Officially, the wide receiver has been out since early camp due to an injury. Unofficially, Cohn hints that Jennings might have already played his final game when he suited up against the Cardinals in January, ending with these stats: 7 receptions over 52 yards.

After a breakout season with 975 yards, Jauan Jennings wants a major raise. Reports say he’s eyeing over $20 million per year , a number that would put him among the NFL’s top 20 paid receivers. For a seventh-round pick who capitalized when Brandon Aiyuk and others were sidelined, the timing is perfect. The 49ers, however, still view him as more of a role player than a core piece.
