NFL Rumors: Ex-49ers WR Jauan Jennings Connected to AFC Team

Jauan Jennings, 49ers

With May almost here, Jauan Jennings still remains a free agent. Yet, when noting that he is one of the top wide receivers still available on the free-agent market at this point in the offseason, that is likely to change soon. 

In a recent article for CBS Sports, Tyler Sullivan named the Las Vegas Raiders as the best potential fit for Jennings in free agency. 

"The Raiders have already gone through a seismic offseason thanks to the selection of Fernando Mendoza at No. 1 overall. While Las Vegas has done a strong job building up the offensive line to protect their new quarterback (namely inking center Tyler Linderbaum in free agency), they need to give him some more weapons, particularly at receiver. That's where Jennings comes in," Sullivan wrote. 

When noting that the Raiders are in need of another impactful wide receiver, it would make a lot of sense for them to sign Jennings. He would certainly improve the Raiders' offense if they landed him, and he could thrive in a big role with Las Vegas. 

Jennings played in 15 games this season with the 49ers, where he recorded a career-high nine touchdowns. He also had 55 receptions and 643 receiving yards, so it was a strong year for the five-year veteran. With numbers like these, he would be a nice pickup for the Raiders, and it will be interesting to see if they can land him from here.
