NBC Universal, Inc. Jauan Jennings on Wednesday signed a new contract with the San Francisco 49ers that locks him up with the organization through the 2025 NFL season.

SANTA CLARA — Wide receiver Jauan Jennings is back with the 49ers, and he will be around for at least the next two seasons.

Jennings on Wednesday signed a new contract with the 49ers that locks him up with the organization through the 2025 NFL season.

The 49ers originally tendered Jennings as a restricted free agent this offseason with a one-year, $4.89 million contract.

Jennings' new contract is worth up to $15.4 million over the next two seasons, with $10.5 million in guaranteed money, ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Media's Ian Rapoport reported, citing agents Drew and Jason Rosenhaus.

Jennings was not a participant in the 49ers’ first week of organized team activities. He has attended the practice sessions this week.

Jennings, entering his fourth NFL season, has 78 total receptions for 963 yards and seven touchdowns in his previous three seasons.

Last season, the soon-to-be 27-year-old caught 19 passes for 265 yards and one touchdown.

Jennings has been a valuable part of the 49ers' offense, especially on third down. Of his 78 career catches, 40 have come on third down and 32 of those have been good enough for a first down.

With Jennings' deal done, the 49ers still have one important piece of business this offseason: Lock up fellow wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk to a contract extension.
