What happened: Chris Simms explained that Jauan Jennings is still a free agent because he priced himself out of a deal with the 49ers, despite fitting their system perfectly and earning praise from Kyle Shanahan. The 49ers viewed him as a good player but pivoted to signing Mike Evans instead. Jennings reportedly sees himself as a WR1 worth top money.
Why it matters: Jennings' strong playoff showings inflated his value expectations, but the free agency market has cooled, leaving him available late in the process. This creates opportunities for teams needing a reliable red-zone threat and blocker at a discount, potentially shifting for contenders.
What to watch: Monitor post-June 1 cap space openings for teams like the Dolphins or Eagles, speculated as landing spots; watch if Jennings adjusts demands amid thinning market.
