Who Should I Start? Lil'jordan Humphrey or Jauan Jennings

Wednesday, March 13, 5:39 PM

The Denver Broncos re-signed wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey to an undisclosed one-year deal on Wednesday, according to a source. Humphrey had 13 receptions for 162 yards and a career-high three touchdowns in his first year in Denver in 2023 while playing in all 17 games. While he had a career-best season catching the football, he was also the team's best blocking wideout. The 25-year-old could have a bigger role in 2024, too, following the team's trade of Jerry Jeudy to the Cleveland Browns last weekend. However, with the Broncos most likely starting either Jarrett Stidham or a rookie at quarterback, it will be hard to trust any receiver in Denver next year not named Courtland Sutton. Humphrey also has only 31 career receptions for 477 yards and six touchdowns in his five NFL seasons.

The San Francisco 49ers tendered restricted free-agent wide receiver Jauan Jennings at the second-round level on Monday. Jennings is set to make $4.89 million on the tender for the 2024 season, and the sides can now continue to negotiate a multi-year extension. Any other NFL team that signs Jennings to an offer sheet that the 49ers decide to match must part ways with a second-round draft pick. It means that Jennings is going to stay with the 49ers in 2024, unless he's traded. The 26-year-old pass-catcher had a career-low 19 receptions on 33 targets for 265 yards and only one touchdown in 13 regular-season games (two starts) for San Fran in his third year in the league in 2023. Although he caught a touchdown and threw for a TD in the Super Bowl loss to the Chiefs, Jennings is unlikely to produce much in 2024 for a loaded Niners offense.
