Jauan Jennings Reportedly Told the 49ers “Actually, No” and Killed a Done Trade Back to San Francisco

A trade that would have returned former 49ers receiver Jauan Jennings to San Francisco fell apart when Jennings declined a FaceTime confirmation with head coach Kyle Shanahan and GM John Lynch, according to FOX Sports insider Jay Glazer. The Vikings had agreed to send Jennings back, but the deal was contingent on his acceptance. Jennings, who has logged just four catches for 43 yards in five games behind Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison, chose to stay in Minnesota despite a one‑year, up‑to‑$13 million contract. The 6‑1 49ers, now thin at receiver, will continue searching for help ahead of their Week 11 clash with Minnesota in Mexico City.

Minnesota Vikings Player Declined Trade to Contender

Vikings GM Nolan Teasley reportedly reached a trade deal to send wide receiver Jauan Jennings back to the San Francisco 49ers, but Jennings declined, refusing a FaceTime call with Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch. The 29‑year‑old, on a $8 million one‑year deal, has logged just four catches for 43 yards this season, but remains a key blocker. With Minnesota unbeaten at 6‑0, Jennings appears content to stay, leaving the Vikings to explore other trade options or retain him for the remainder of the year.

49ers rumors: Vikings’ Jauan Jennings rejected trade back to San Francisco

The San Francisco 49ers' attempt to bring back former wide receiver Jauan Jennings falls through as the Minnesota Vikings' WR declines the trade. Despite the Niners' 6-1 NFC West lead and MVP‑caliber QB Brock Purdy, Jennings—who logged just four catches for 43 yards this season—chooses to stay in Minnesota, citing his recent $8 million, one‑year deal and desire to stick with the Vikings’ defense. The move forces the 49ers to seek other receiver options, even as Jennings reflects on his five‑year, 210‑reception tenure that included a Super Bowl 58 score.

Receiver rejects trade to the 49ers

Wide receiver Jauan Jennings refuses a potential trade back to the San Francisco 49ers, turning down a deal with the Minnesota Vikings that required a FaceTime call with coach Kyle Shanahan and GM John Lynch. Despite posting only four catches for 43 yards this season, Jennings chose to stay in Minnesota, citing a preference for the Vikings over the 49ers, where he logged nearly 1,000 yards in 2024 and nine touchdowns in 2025. The move leaves the 49ers scrambling and sparks speculation about interest from teams like the Los Angeles Rams.

Jauan Jennings Killed Trade That Would Have Returned Him To 49ers

A trade that would have sent WR Jauan Jennings back to the San Francisco 49ers falls apart after the 29‑year‑old declined a video call with head coach Kyle Shanahan and GM John Lynch. The Vikings, who signed Jennings to a one‑year, $8 million deal in May, have used him sparingly—four games, two catches for nine yards—making him a trade candidate. With over half his salary already paid, he would have been a cheap acquisition for San Francisco, but Jennings chose to stay in Minnesota.

NFL Power Rankings: October

The Game Haus releases its October 2026 NFL Power Rankings as the season reaches the halfway mark. The San Francisco 49ers (6‑1) top the list, overcoming WR injuries with a dominant O‑line and QB Brock Purdy, followed by the Kansas City Chiefs (6‑1) and the unbeaten Minnesota Vikings (6‑0). The Buffalo Bills (5‑1) sit fourth, boasting a potent offense but a league‑worst defense, while the Jacksonville Jaguars (4‑2) and Chicago Bears (5‑2) round out the top six, the latter buoyed by Caleb Williams' return. The rankings continue through 16 teams, noting injuries, offensive/defensive strengths, and recent performances that separate contenders from the pack.

At Least Four Teams Vying For Jonathan Taylor, Colts In Active Trade Talks

Four NFL teams — the Denver Broncos, New York Giants, Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings — are reportedly at the top of the trade chase for Colts running back Jonathan Taylor, according to insiders Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport. Indianapolis seeks a package similar to the 49ers’ deal for Christian McCaffrey (second through fifth‑round picks), though some say the price is steep. Taylor, 27, entered 2026 with 587 rushing yards, eight TDs and a new two‑year, $44 million extension, and is slated to play against the Jaguars Sunday.

Next Four Games Very Critical For Vikings

The Vikings sit at an unexpected 6-0 thanks to a dominant defense, but a tough four‑game stretch could determine their playoff fate. They face Detroit (away, 11/1), Buffalo (home, 11/9), Green Bay (away, 11/15) and a San Francisco showdown in Mexico City (home, 11/22) – all teams with playoff hopes. A 2‑2 finish keeps Minnesota at 8‑2 and on track for the NFC North lead; anything worse jeopardizes the division title and top seed. GM Nolan Teasley is reportedly pursuing a RB like Jonathan Taylor or a tight end after Josh Oliver’s injury, aiming to solidify the roster before the November 10 deadline.

Ian Rapoport’s Myles Garrett injury update brings ‘optimism’

Ian Rapoport reports that Myles Garrett, the Rams’ star defensive end sidelined by a knee injury since Week 1, is expected to return to practice this week and could be game‑ready as early as next week. His comeback could boost a 3‑4 Los Angeles team that has missed his pass‑rush pressure, especially ahead of a showdown with winless Chargers. The optimism around Garrett’s return fuels hopes that the Rams’ offseason investment will pay off and improve their 4‑4 trajectory.

Report: “No way” the Jets trade Garrett Wilson in 2026

Adam Schefter’s source tells ESPN there’s “no way” the New York Jets will trade star wide receiver Garrett Wilson before the Nov. 10 deadline, despite interest from San Francisco. The 49ers, dealing with injuries to Deebo Samuel, Mike Evans and De’Zhaun Stribling, face cap issues and limited offensive familiarity, making a Wilson deal financially and strategically unlikely. The report suggests Wilson will remain with the Jets, leaving the 49ers to pursue other receiver options while maintaining their current roster flexibility.

Jonathan Taylor trade rumor from Adam Schefter confirms Colts’ asking price

With the NFL trade deadline looming on Nov. 10, the Indianapolis Colts have shifted from keeping star RB Jonathan Taylor to openly fielding offers. Adam Schefter says the asking price mirrors the 2022 package the 49ers gave the Panthers for Christian McCaffrey—multiple mid‑round picks, likely a second‑rounder plus a Day‑3 selection. Teams reportedly interested include the Denver Broncos, Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings and New York Giants, each grappling with weak backfields. Taylor, an elite back with two contract years remaining, could fetch a McCaffrey‑type return, though a more modest haul seems probable.

Why Dre Greenlaw was fined $12,537 after 49ers were upset by Falcons

The NFL fines 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw $12,537 for unnecessary roughness after his punch hit Falcons receiver Drake London’s helmet during a Week 7 red‑zone play in the 29‑20 loss. The incident, not flagged on the field, led to London’s concussion evaluation. It’s Greenlaw’s second fine this season—following an $11,941 penalty for taunting the Broncos—and comes after a one‑game suspension for a sideline altercation with Seattle’s Ernest Jones IV. Fellow 49er Jordan James also receives a $6,194 fine for helmet use. The 49ers head into a bye before facing the Raiders on Nov. 8.
