Jauan Jennings: Everything you need to know

Jennings is visiting with the Vikings on Tuesday and Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Now that the NFL Draft has passed, signings no longer count toward the compensatory formula for next year's Draft, which should lead to a flurry of activity around the league and its remaining free agents. Jennings hasn't drawn a known whiff of interest in his time on the market over the last month-plus, but this could help jumpstart his free agency. The 28-year-old had a productive five seasons in San Francisco, amassing 210 catches for 2,581 yards and 22 touchdowns as a trusted third-down and red-zone weapon for Brock Purdy in recent seasons. He'd be a terrific fit in Minnesota between Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison.

Jennings recorded two receptions on five targets for 39 yards in Saturday's divisional-round loss to the Seahawks. Jennings was predictably one of Brock Purdy's favorite targets, though his stat line reflects San Francisco's inability to move the ball effectively in the loss. He did account for the team's longest play from scrimmage on a 19-yard catch and run to begin the second half, but he also had a key drop late in the third quarter on third down. While Jennings' season didn't end positively, he tallied a career-high nine touchdowns across 15 regular-season games.

Jennings had one reception on three targets for 45 yards and completed his only pass attempt for a 29-yard touchdown in Sunday's 23-19 wild-card game win over the Eagles. Jennings had an unusual stat line after finishing with his lowest target and reception total since Week 6 of the regular season, while also grabbing his longest reception of 2025 and throwing a touchdown pass to boot. It wasn't the first time that the veteran wideout was asked to throw a pass in his career, as the 49ers ran a similar trick play in 2023 that resulted in a 21-yard touchdown. The 27-year-old's target share was concerning in the wild-card round, but his usage figures to balloon in the divisional round after TE George Kittle (Achilles) had to be carted off the field Sunday. WR Ricky Pearsall missed the game due to a knee injury, and his status remains in question for next week's showdown against the Seahawks, so Jennings could really be in store for a heavy workload in the divisional round if his fellow starter remains sidelined.
