The San Francisco 49ers knocked out one obstacle this offseason related to the 2020 wide receivers they drafted. The 49ers had former seventh-round pick Jauan Jennings and former first-round pick Brandon Aiyuk negotiating for new deals.
The San Francisco 49ers have a big offseason at WR

The negotiations came at a time when the 49ers have a lot of smoke around their receiver corps this offseason. With cap space tight, the 49ers were rumored to explore trade options for Deebo Samuel or Aiyuk. More questions about the group were voiced following the 49ers’ decision to draft wide receiver Ricky Pearsall with the No. 31 pick in the draft.
Samuel has been showing up to voluntary workouts this offseason. Jennings and Aiyuk have not.
Jauan Jennings is signing a two-year deal

According to Adam Schefter with ESPN, Jennings is set to sign a two-year deal:
Restricted free-agent WR Jauan Jennings is signing a two-year deal with the 49ers worth up to $15.4 million, including $10.5 million guaranteed. The deal was negotiated and confirmed by agents Drew and Jason Rosenhaus. Jennings did not sign his free-agent tender and instead did this deal, which is akin to a one-year extension.
Jennings is set to make about $5.25 million per year in base salary, which isn’t bad for a receiver with fewer than 1,000 receiving yards and seven touchdowns in his four-year NFL career.
NFL fans’ initial reactions to the signing

Pearsall might not get a single target

Can’t wait for Brandon Aiyuk to respond by posting himself on IG holding an empty bag of Doritos while eating a pomegranate as if any of us are supposed to interpret the meaning.
