San Francisco 49ers wide receivers Juan Jennings is heading into free agency this off season. The 28-year-old has been a steady contributor for the team, but experts see him moving on. CBS Sports analyst Zachary Porellis predicts Jennings will sign with the New England Patriots. The Patriots need help at wide receiver after releasing Stefan Diggs. They turn things around last year with smart free agency moves, but gaps remain, especially in the passing game. Jennings brings toughness, blocking skills, and reliability over the middle, making him a great match. Fans and analysts like the idea because Jennings thrives in the red zone and fits head coach Mike Raebles' gritty culture. In New England, he could pair well with quarterback Drake May in Josh McDaniel's offense, and even emerge as a bigger star. Fans from SpotTrack put Jennings' next deal at about $22,600,000 per year over three

1:04seasons, totaling $67,000,000. That's a big number, but the Patriots have nearly $45,000,000 in salary cap space. If Jennings doesn't stay in San Francisco, New England looks like the perfect spot to land him and fill their top roster need. Keep an eye on this as free agency heats up.
