Move No. 2: 49ers must re-sign Jauan Jennings
As far as wide receiver contracts go, the Niners have a somewhat easier choice with depth wide receiver Jauan Jennings.
A restricted free agent, Jennings could either command a qualifying tender (a second-round RFA tender would be worth $4.89 million) or end up receiving a multiyear extension, the latter likely being the cheaper and more cost-effective route.
With preference for the second option, performing either would be more than a wise move. And it's also something John Lynch specified he'd like to see happen.
Jennings, who could have been the game's MVP if San Francisco won the Super Bowl last February, is about as reliable a third-down weapon there is. And he might be classified as the best blocking wide receiver in the NFL right now, too.
Those players aren't always the splashiest or most-discussed out there, but they're certainly vital.
