INDIANAPOLIS, IN - DECEMBER 22: San Francisco 49ers Wide Receiver Jauan Jennings (15) catches a pass for a touchdown as Indianapolis Colts Cornerback Cameron Mitchell (43) defends during the NFL game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Indianapolis Colts on December 22, 2025, at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Apparently, the reason was “because he wanted to give us something to write about before we went to bed on Thursday night.” The Vikings have announced that they have agreed to the terms of a 1-year deal with the former San Francisco 49ers receiver. The terms of the deal have not been fully announced, but the deal is reportedly worth “up to” $13 million, which is roughly what the Vikings saved in salary cap space when they traded edge rusher to the on Draft weekend. Jennings, who has caught 15 touchdown passes over the last two seasons with the 49ers, will give the Vikings yet another weapon on offense alongside , , and . The report we cited earlier this morning said that he was looking for “WR2” money, and given that this *is* only a one-year deal, he might actually be able to get to that level depending on how the deal is structured. Addison’s cap number for this season is only around $4.3 million (his number will go up a lot next season, thanks to his fully guaranteed fifth-year option), so Jennings will likely be the second-highest paid receiver on the Vikings’ roster in 2026. He’ll still be WR3 on the depth chart, in all likelihood, but in terms of pay, he’ll be WR2. This move is definitely going to give the Vikings an added dimension on offense this coming season, as they once again have three solid, legitimate options at wide receiver even after losing to the in free agency. Let us know what you think about this move, folks!
