Story summary

The San Francisco 49ers missed out on reuniting with former receiver Jauan Jennings before the trade deadline. According to a report by Jay Glazer on "Fox NFL Sunday," the 49ers had terms worked out for Jennings but he declined, opting to stay with the Minnesota Vikings, who were undefeated at 6-0 this season. Jennings spent five years with the 49ers and led them in receiving touchdowns (9) last season before signing a one-year deal with the Vikings over the offseason. His decision isn't seen as unfavorable given the Vikings' strong start, despite his limited contribution of four receptions for 43 yards and zero touchdowns this season.
