When you want something, the mantra is to never stop working for it. If you keep working slowly but surely, you’ll achieve it. The 49ers WR Jauan Jennings is a living example of this. Drafted in the seventh round of the NFL Draft, Jennings was initially disappointed about not being picked earlier. His dad, Bennie, helped him understand that even getting drafted is something worth celebrating.

Jauan made his debut with the San Francisco

49ers in 2021, and it didn’t take long for him to prove he’s a player of real caliber. Seeing his brilliance, the team extended his contract deal. In 2023, he made it to the  Super Bowl LVIII. Even though the 49ers lost to the Chiefs, Jauan’s performance was nothing short of impressive.

What is Jauan Jennings’ salary & net worth?

Remember the 2023 championship? What a nail-biter that game was! The 49ers didn’t win, but Jauan Jennings showed up big time. He snagged four out of five passes thrown his way, racked up 42 yards, and even scored a touchdown. No chance the 49ers were letting this guy leave their offense. So, in 2024, they locked him down with a two-year extension worth $15.4 million. With the way he’s playing and putting up numbers, the 49ers WR is paving the way for a solid financial future while making an even bigger name for himself every game.

This season, Jennings earned a base salary of $1,055,000. His net worth will be around $1 million in 2024. If you thought, that’s a lot of numbers already, wait for it. For the 2023 season, his average salary is $5,945,000. The 49ers WR has seen a significant boost in his career earnings, all thanks to his solid performances. Back in 2020, when he first started, his salary was around $851,506, with a signing bonus of $111,024. That’s modest for a rookie, right?

But as he continued to put up solid numbers, his paycheck started reflecting that. That’s how this league works: you put up great numbers, and they pay you great numbers.

How long is the 49ers WR’s contract?

Jauan Jennings is locked in with the 49ers for another two years on a $15.39 million deal. It’s a pretty sweet setup, he gets $8.43 million fully guaranteed right off the bat, and for 2024, he’ll be raking in $7.89 million in cash. Plus, in 2025, he’s got a $5.6 million option bonus coming up in April. And here’s the kicker: the 49ers are clearing up $2.11 million in cap space with this extension. Pretty solid move for both sides.

The WR will also be receiving a signing bonus of $1,242,000 this season. But in 2026, Jennings will bid goodbye to his 49ers contract and hit free agency. And with every contract ending comes the tough decisions. He’ll either stay with the 49ers or go to a new team. We’ll also have to see whether his team continues with him.

Either way, the road’s all bright and sunny for him even after his contract with the 49ers ends. He’s set to cash in, whether by re-signing or hitting free agency for a possible big payday. So, let’s see what lies in Jennings’ future.
