- Jennings chose to remain with Minnesota after speaking with Shanahan.
- San Francisco is still seeking help before the trade deadline.

## Summary

Kyle Shanahan said the San Francisco 49ers tried to trade for former receiver Jauan Jennings, but Jennings chose to stay with Minnesota. Shanahan also disputed a report that Jennings refused to speak with the 49ers, saying the two had a positive FaceTime conversation. The episode highlights San Francisco’s search for reinforcements as injuries leave its receiving corps short-handed.

Minnesota was open to a deal, but Jennings told Shanahan he was happy with his situation, and Shanahan agreed it made sense for him to stay. Jennings, who led the 49ers with 643 receiving yards last season, has made six catches on 10 targets in six games with the Vikings. San Francisco is still exploring options before Tuesday’s trade deadline; rookie De’Zhaun Stribling is expected to be out for more than a month, while Brandon Aiyuk is unlikely to return.
