The San Francisco 49ers have added $3 million in performance-based incentives to wide receiver Jauan Jennings’ contract for the 2023 season. This adjustment, which was announced in late August, reflects the team’s commitment to maximizing Jennings’ potential on the field. The incentives are tied to specific metrics such as target share and key receptions, aligning the player’s performance with the team’s offensive strategy.
Jennings, who joined the 49ers in free agency in 2022, has had a mixed start to his career with the team. The addition of these incentives is intended to elevate his contributions and enhance the team’s passing game. The 49ers’ offensive coordinator, Mike McDaniel, has expressed confidence in Jennings’ ability to thrive under the new structure, which aims to create more opportunities for the wideout.
