After a disappointing 2025 season, in which an inefficient offense prevented them from reaching the postseason, Minnesota secured the former San Francisco 49ers target.
According to reports from Ian Rapoport, the contract includes an $8 million base salary, with the potential to rise to $13 million through performance incentives.
Jennings, a 6-foot-3 playmaker, caught 55 passes for 653 yards and a career-high nine touchdowns last season, despite missing the first month.
He now joins superstar Justin Jefferson and rising talent Jordan Addison, forming one of the league's most formidable passing groups.

This impressive combination has Jennings feeling optimistic about his fit within the Minnesota offense.
As reported by NFL insider Ari Meirov on X, Jennings expressed his excitement , comparing his arrival to Kevin Durant joining the powerhouse Golden State Warriors .
He highlighted the star-studded nature of the roster, suggesting they have formed a 'Big 3' due to the immense talent on the depth chart.
While drawing a comparison to Durant may raise eyebrows, this partnership represents a crucial turning point for Jennings.
Following a standout 2024 season, where he recorded 77 catches for 975 yards, Jennings entered free agency seeking a contract worth approximately $20 million per year.
