The Steelers are no strangers to San Francisco slamming the door shut on wide receiver trade talks — as evident by Pittsburgh’s failed pursuit of 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk last summer.

A former seventh-round pick out of Tennessee, Jennings came along slowly and developed a niche role as a blocking wide receiver that would do the dirty work before expanding his role last year with injuries and uncertainty in the 49ers’ wide receiver room.

Months after dealing Deebo Samuel to the Washington Commanders, the San Francisco 49ers are faced with another wide receiver dilemma: Unless he can secure a new contract from the team ahead of training camp, veteran pass catcher Jauan Jennings intends to formally request a trade from the 49ers, as ESPN reported Monday.
