No. 1 in the 30-second version
Vikings receiver Jauan Jennings turned down a trade back to the 49ers, saying he loves where he is.
The 49ers and Vikings discussed a trade that would have sent Jennings back to San Francisco, and talks progressed far enough for Jennings to speak with former coach Kyle Shanahan. Jennings said, 'I just thought it was best for both teams. No distractions. I love where I'm at.' Jennings has six catches on 10 targets this season, and his limited role has not changed his mind, according to ProFootball Talk.

Colts have told teams they received a fourth-round pick offer for WR Josh Downs, according to ESPN.
Downs has asked to be traded, and Indianapolis appears likely to grant it, since he is in the final year of his rookie contract and leads the Colts with 330 receiving yards. Keenan Allen, second on the team with 325 receiving yards, could also be moved as Indianapolis looks toward 2027. Stampede Blue, a Colts fan blog, reports citing NFL insider Ari Meirov that Indianapolis has been offered more for nose tackle Grover Stewart than it got for DeForest Buckner.
