49ers "Not Even Close" in Extension Talks With Jauan Jennings

Friday, August 29, 3:06 PM

Tim Kawakami of The San Francisco Standard says that San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (calf) is looking for more than $20 million annually on a contract extension, and the team "appears unwilling to meet those demands." "If you ask me what the dollars are, I would tell you, just from my opinion, is that it's not close. It's not even close," Kawakami added. Jennings does hold some leverage due to the team's injury-depleted receiving group with Brandon Aiyuk (knee) set to miss at least the first four games of the year. However, his leverage is diminishing with each passing day, and the possibility of him missing regular-season games further complicates matters. Jennings has been out for most of training camp with a calf injury, but his contract dispute may be influencing his lack of practice participation. General manager John Lynch confirmed that Jennings has requested a trade, but the Niners have no intentions of moving him.

Chris Olave Back on the Field, Records Two Catches

Sunday, August 17, 5:14 PM

New Oreland Saints wide receiver Chris Olave suited up for the Saints' second preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He recorded two receptions for 12 yards on four targets while playing alongside rookie quarterback Tyler Shough in Sunday's 17-17 tie. As expected, his chemistry with the rookie quarterback appeared a bit off. However, it was a positive sign for New Orleans to see their star receiver back on the field for the first time since Week 9 of 2024. Injuries have impacted all three of his seasons in the league, including eight missed games last year after landing on IR due to a concussion. Questionable quarterback play and injury risk continue to affect his fantasy value, and he is currently ranked as WR34 in PPR formats by RotoBaller.
