Deadlines spur action. Earlier on Wednesday, San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that he was expecting Jauan Jennings to play this Sunday. At the time, Shanahan said there hadn’t been any resolution as far as Jennings receiving a new deal. Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, that is no longer the case.

Schefter tweeted that the 49ers and Jennings reached an agreement on a deal that will add $3 million of play-time incentives to Jennings’ original contract. Jauan was initially set to earn $7.5 million. Now, he has a chance to earn up to $10.5 million.

Interestingly enough, there were no years added to Jennings’ contract. Per Schefter, Jennings declined a multi-year offer from the 49ers. He plans to bet on himself and earn a bigger contract, perhaps elsewhere, next offseason.
