As the San Francisco 49ers continue working on trying to sign receiver Brandon Aiyuk to a long-term contract extension, they handled another important piece of wideout-related business on Wednesday.

Restricted free agent Jauan Jennings, who has emerged as the team's reliable third receiver option over the past three seasons, agreed to a two-year contract with the Niners that will keep him in San Francisco through the 2025 season, Nick Wagoner of ESPN reports.

Jennings did not sign his restricted free agent tender and instead did this deal, which is akin to a one-year extension.

The contract is worth up to $15.4 million, including $10.5 million guaranteed, agents Drew and Jason Rosenhaus told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Jennings had not been participating in organized team activities because he was technically not under contract as he and the Niners worked on striking a deal. San Francisco placed the second-round tender on Jennings in March, which meant Jennings could shop elsewhere for a new deal but the Niners would have the right to match any outside offer or receiver a second-round choice if they did not match.
