After reportedly signing veteran edge rusher Leonard Floyd to a contract, the San Francisco 49ers turned its attention to one of their own. On Monday afternoon, the 49ers announced they had tendered a one-year contract to restricted free agent pass catcher Jauan Jennings.

According to Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area, the 49ers tendered Jennings at the second-round level and he will now be set to make $4.89 million for the upcoming season.
While the 49ers will still have the chance to negotiate a multi-year deal with Jennings, any other team that attempts to sign Jennings will have to send the 49ers a second-round draft pick if they don’t match the offer.
Jauan Jennings is set to make $4.89 million on the tender for the 2024 season. The sides can continue to negotiate a multi-year extension. Any team that signs him to an offer sheet that the 49ers decide not to match must part ways with a second-round draft pick.
