ESPN's Adam Schefter reports San Francisco 49ers WR Jauan Jennings, who is scheduled to make $7.5 million in the final year of his deal, wants a new contract or a trade, sources said. Jennings has approached the 49ers about his request, but little progress has been made, a source said. If a new deal is not reached by the time training camp starts next week, Jennings plans to request a trade to a team willing to pay him. Entering 2025, Jennings is slated to count $4.258 million against the cap in the final year of the two-year, $15.39 million extension he signed last offseason. He is not expected to be a training camp holdout, but he is not expected to be happy, either.

-- More on Quinshon Judkins' Arrest --
Sun Jul 13, 2025 --from FFMastermind.com

ESPN reports an official with the Fort Lauderdale Police Department Media Relations Unit says... “On July 12th, at approximately 9 a.m., Fort Lauderdale Police Officers responded to the 1500 block of West Cypress Creek Road in reference to a delayed battery. Officers arrived on scene and spoke with the victim. During their preliminary investigation it was determined a battery had occurred. The officers made contact with the suspect and placed him into custody. He was transported to Broward County Main Jail. The suspect has been identified as Quinshon Judkins, DOB 10/29/2003 and has been charged with Misdemeanor Battery (Domestic) FSS 784.03-1a1.” Cleveland Browns rookie RB Quinshon Judkins was held overnight. He’s reportedly due to have an initial hearing on Sunday. Beyond whatever happens in the criminal justice system, Judkins eventually will be facing scrutiny from the NFL, under the Personal Conduct Policy. The baseline punishment for a battery is six games. That number can go down or up based on various factors. Judkins has yet to sign his rookie contract. He’s one of 30 second-round picks who have yet to come to terms, over the issue of guarantees.
