He felt like a player who would sign toward the end of the week, if not over the weekend. Here we are, more than a month and a half since the start of free agency, and Jennings remains unsigned. The 49ers elected not to bring back Jennings after essentially three seasons of one-year deals followed by a two-year extension in 2024. Jennings held out during training camp in 2025. It was under the guise of a hip injury, but Jennings wanted more money. He ultimately got his wish and played out the season. A season after nearly missing a 1,000-yard season, Jennings had a career-high in touchdowns with 9, but that came after averaging 42.9 yards per game. The fact that Jennings has made a name for himself all these years later, after being drafted in the 7th round of the 2020 NFL Draft, is a testament. While Jennings may have overplayed his hand and overpriced himself in the market, there remains interest in him. According to the Miami Herald’s Barry Jackson, the Dolphins are keeping an eye on Jennings:
