The Minnesota Vikingssigned WR Jauan Jennings three weeks ago to bolster their receiver room following the departure of Jalen Nailor. Jennings brings size (6’3″, 212 pounds) and experience (210 receptions, 2,581 yards, and 22 touchdowns in six seasons) to a room that already features Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison.
It was a bit of a surprise that Jennings was on the market for as long as he was, so it was going to be intriguing what his contract looked like.
The details have emerged. Per Sean Borman of X, Jennings signed a one-year, $8 million deal. This also includes the following:
- $1.63 million base
- $4.5 million signing bonus
- $6.13 million fully guaranteed
- Up to $1.85 million in per-game roster bonuses
- $5 million in available incentives
- Max value of $13 million
- $9.53 million cap hit in 2026
Jennings’ $8 million AAV (average annual value) ranks 43rd among wideouts, per Borman. This provides the Vikings with a cheap option for a receiver who will turn 29 in July.
If the Vikings can get more out of their quarterbacks in 2026, Jennings can provide the team with a quality WR3 option at an affordable rate.
