Jauan Jennings joins the Vikings after attracting interest from multiple teams.
The Kansas City Chiefs are reportedly interested in signing wide receiver Jauan Jennings, who recently joined the Minnesota Vikings. NFL insider Adam Schefter shared this news during an appearance on the 'Pat McAfee Show'.
According to NFL insider Adam Schefter, the Kansas City Chiefs were among the teams that were interested in acquiring former San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings, who signed with the Minnesota Vikings on May 7.
Jennings developed into a key top playmaker for the 49ers during his six-year tenure in San Francisco after he was chosen by the California-based franchise in the seventh round of the 2020 NFL Draft.
Schefter revealed Kansas City's interest in signing Jennings in an appearance on the 'Pat McAfee Show' on May 8.
Take a look at Schefter's full remarks on the Chiefs' pursuit of Jennings in this clip, which was posted to Twitter by Pat McAfee's official account:
Several other star receivers remain available on the free agent market, so Kansas City's front office isn't lacking for options if it wants to pursue a top-tier pass-catcher for Patrick Mahomes.
Among the most notable wideouts who are still looking for a contract are former Chiefs speedster Tyreek Hill, four-time Pro Bowler Stefon Diggs, and All-Pro Swiss Army Knife Deebo Samuel.
