The Minnesota Vikings added to their receiver depth by agreeing to deal with former San Francisco 49ers receiver Jauan Jennings on Thursday.
The team didn't disclose the terms, but The Athletic reported it's a one-year deal with a base salary of $8 million with incentives which could pay Jennings as much as $13 million.
Jennings, 28, was a seventh-round pick by the 49ers in 2020 but became a critical member of their receiver corps. He broke out with 975 receiving yards and six touchdowns on 77 catches in 2024 and led all of San Francisco's receivers with 643 yards last season, catching a team- and career-high nine touchdown passes.
Over five seasons of action with the 49ers, Jennings caught 210 passes for 2,581 yards and 22 touchdowns.
San Francisco elected not to re-sign him this offseason, allowing Minnesota to add to one of the better receiver rooms in the league as Jennings joins Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison.
That's a strong trio of options for whoever wins the Vikings' quarterback competition between 2024 first-round pick J.J. McCarthy and free-agent signee Kyler Murray.
