San Francisco 49ers free agent Jauan Jennings is surprisingly still there for the taking.
Jennings, who proved during his time in San Francisco that he can be a wide receiver who makes plays at a very high level, hasn't gotten a ton of love on the free agent market. It's a bit surprising that he is unsigned just yet, but he also might be looking for a lot more money or a better system than what's out there.
According to the latest report, as Jennings recently visited with the Minnesota Vikings, it doesn't sound like there's much urgency to get a deal done right now. According to The Athletic's Alec Lewis, the visit was more about the Vikings getting a feel for where Jennings stands in free agency and what they can offer him.
“That visit was always kind of an exploratory type of feel,” Lewis said, per Heavy. “It was never billed as ‘Jauan Jennings is coming here, it’s signing, done deal, over with and done for.’ It was always more of a, ‘Hey, you come meet us.
“We’re going to spend time with you, see where you’re at, talk through everything, fit, role, what we’re about, what this building is about, and then, obviously, some of the financial ideas with where both sides stand.”
There's a lot that has to happen over the next few weeks to days for Jennings to likely sign a contract, though him visiting Minnesota is a step in the right direction for his free agency case. The Vikings can use another decent wide receiver, as Jennings would likely fit in as their WR3.
