Rod Adams and Garrett Gonzales of the We Want Winners podcast deliver a hard-hitting reality check on San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings and his current contract situation. Jennings effectively chose to be on a "prove-it" deal by betting on himself and staging a preseason holdout.
The sad reality? That bet is not paying off.
The hosts break down why the 49ers never truly treated him like a must-have roster piece during negotiations, and how recent events are validating the team's stance:
Production Plunge: Jennings is currently on pace to finish the season with alarmingly low numbers, which will severely damage his negotiating position heading into free agency.
Playing Hurt: Rod and Garrett express concern that Jennings is pushing to play through injuries (like the reported broken ribs and ankle sprains) in a desperate attempt to hit performance bonuses, which is counter-productive to his long-term value.
Free Agency Crisis: Instead of setting himself up for a massive payday, his low-volume, injured production is making him a major risk for potential suitors on the open market.
Tune in to this episode of We Want Winners for the full discussion on the cost of the NFL holdout, the difficult position Jennings finds himself in, and the tough decision the Faithful To The Bay could face regarding their beloved 'Third and Jauan.'
