nmas3 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Per KFFL: Matt Maiocco, of The Santa Rosa Press Democrat, reports San Francisco 49ers OT Jonas Jennings won't attend their upcoming minicamp. The 49ers have told him he no longer fits into their future. When he is released, he will save the team $3.1 million in salary cap room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsGuyInMalta Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I've heard of... ...eh, not worth it this time. I say bring him back to Buffalo as a backup. Then the circle will be complete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABills Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I've heard of... ...eh, not worth it this time. I say bring him back to Buffalo as a backup. Then the circle will be complete Oh just what we need a starter and a backup LT who take 3 games off if they get hangnails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmas3 Posted March 14, 2009 Author Share Posted March 14, 2009 I just thought it was interesting news, I dont think I would want him back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SABURZFAN Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I just thought it was interesting news, I dont think I would want him back. i don't know. didn't Jennings log some time at the C position? the Bills aren't too solid at that position.

ax4782 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Can we just say no to some of these retreads. For crying out loud, if the 49ers don't want him, he can't possibly be worth the price we'll have to pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsWest Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 He's been out more than he's played since the 49ers signed him. Pass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 He's been out more than he's played since the 49ers signed him. Pass Which is perfect criteria for the Bills to sign him. If he hadn't already been with the team, you can bet there would be plenty here who would consider signing Jennings a "solid" move... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfreak Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 He has pretty much been a bust every since the 49ers gave him that big contract a few years ago. It would make just as much sense to bring Ruben Brown back as a backup, he hasn't officially retired yet I don't believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvermike Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I wonder what they're waiting for to release him. It doesn't seem like the kind of situation that would solicit trade offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lets_go_bills Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 And I suppose we're supposed to take back Clements when the Niners realize they got hoodwinked on that ex-Bill and release him too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 49'ers may have over-payed for Clements, but I think they are pretty happy with his play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill from NYC Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Jonas Jennings was a very good player on the rare occasions on which he took the field. For the sake of comparison, he was clearly superior to Walker at RT, and was a good LT to boot. He will probably not be a star in this league, but neither will most 7th round picks. If I was the GM and thought that there was a chance of him being healthy, I would offer SF a 7th round pick and see what they say. SF will be stuck with his cap hit for the bonus, and if he sucks or is "injured" again, they could cut him and it wouldn't cost a dime. Just a passing thought.

There's no way anyone would trade for him, because his salary is way too high for his production and you'd have to pick up the contract in a trade. He'll get cut and will land somewhere for a few mil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I recall, he was a very smart guy, and was planning for his future even as a very young player. Who knows, he might ot even like football.

LynchMob23 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Once Jennings caught the sleepytime express shot from Wilfork, that egg stayed cracked. He was always someone who tried hard to get back on the field, unlike Williams running away from the field for hangnails... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Jose Bills Fan Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I wonder what they're waiting for to release him. It doesn't seem like the kind of situation that would solicit trade offers. Some much needed facts. The Niners released Jennings within hours after they reached agreement with Marvel Smith. In 4 seasons with San Francisco Jennings played in 23 out of a possible 64 games. He missed 31 games to injury. He has not officially retired although some would argue that he has already unofficially retired. He will be 32 years old this November. He has made over $20 million dollars in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
