What happened: San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed Wednesday that the team discussed a trade framework with the Minnesota Vikings to reacquire wide receiver Jauan Jennings. Shanahan said he spoke directly with Jennings by video call to discuss a potential return before finalizing an agreement. Jennings decided to remain in Minnesota, prompting both teams to drop the trade discussions.

Why it matters: Jennings, who officially joined Minnesota in May, chose continuity in Minnesota rather than returning to San Francisco's offense. His decision also keeps wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. on the Vikings practice squad rather than opening an active roster position.

What to watch: Minnesota moves forward with Jennings in its active receiver rotation, while San Francisco evaluates remaining depth options at the trade deadline.
