With the draft concluded and minicamps and OTAs now underway, we’ve entered the third quarter. We’re getting there.

With things (somewhat) quiet before the schedule release and the general manager vacancy filled, this is a good opportunity to quickly run through some news and notes about our favorite team that I haven’t covered yet. Spring cleaning time. First, the recent news… JAUAN JENNINGS IS THE NEW WR3 After a preliminary visit a week or so ago, free-agent WR Jauan Jennings is now a member of the Minnesota Vikings.

The former San Francisco 49ers standout has signed a one-year deal worth up to $13 million, with incentives. Jennings had nine touchdowns on 55 receptions last season. That’s impressive enough, but what really makes the signing exciting is the physicality he brings to the run game.
